When does my plan reset? What are my inclusions?
Your usage period, rates and inclusions are contained within the Critical Information Summary (CIS) next to your plan name. You'll need Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader to download and view your CIS. Please note: Some of our older plans may not have a CIS document.
You can also go to our Critical Information Summary Site to view available CIS documents across all services.
Why can't I see my Broadband usage?
If you cannot see your Broadband service in the My Services list check:
- Have you linked your Broadband service to the My Account profile that you're logging in to?
- Have you logged in using your My Account username or just your phone number?
Your usage information can take up 24-48 hours to show, if:
- You've just registered for My Account
- You've just linked this service to your My Account profile
- You've just changed plans, further usage visibility will become available after your next bill is issued.
The My Account usage meter is updated approximately every 15 minutes to 4 hours. The time and date of the last update is shown within the usage page. Occasionally a network event may cause delays to the update period.
For Cable & Resale services only.

'My Internet Service' option not showing
Not using Primary Username?
The 'My Internet Service' menu option will only show if you've logged in using the Account Holder's 'Primary' username. If after logging in, you find that the option is not showing, it's possible you've logged in with a 'Secondary' username.
For privacy reasons, only the Account Holder using their primary username can access the usage / plan information and associated options within the 'My Internet Service' menu.
Detailed information on viewing, editing and the functionality of primary and secondary usernames can be found here.
