Just got this too. The wording is a little weird though, is it only for 6 months or is it for as long as I don't change my plan?

How I despise this targeted bs. Even if I was targeted myself I'd still hate it.

I might be lucky but I called in to complain about not being able to view my bill online and the rep gave me (and my wife) an extra 2gb. We have 5gb plans already for 65 a month (plus 15 all taxes in) being SK residents so feeling pretty lucky.
