How do data bundles work?

[adsl3g]

There are 2 types of data bundles you can choose from normal bundles & add hoc bundles. How do the two differ? Am I right in assuming the following:

Normal bundles - when activated they run from month to month and need to be specifically cancelled.
Ad Hoc bundle - when activated it only runs for the current month and then automatically falls away. Is this correct?

Also, do the add hoc run for 30 days from activation or only for the current month. Do the normal bundle run according to your billing time period (and automatically resets after the billing cycle - until it is specifically cancelled)

I had a bit of a nasy in that I activated an add hoc 75 bundle earlier this month, used about 9meg and cancelled it on the assumption that I did not want it to reset at the beginning of August again and it was immediately removed causing my balance of 66meg to be gone too.

V3g - can you shed some light here please - there appears to be no explanation on the web site.

Normal Bundles are on a 24 month contract.

Ad-Hoc is month to month, but you can cancel (or tune them down to 0M) at any time.

The cancellation experience you had does not make sense. I'll PM you an e-mail addy, please put the complete story in their with contact details and we can see what they say about it.
