WOW! Now this I admit I had not considered. Yes, the "expiry" thing is robbery.
Consider longer periods and lower data quantities? I do 1 month and 700mb. It has never expired on me. I did know one lady who got up to 1gb by renewing a daily 300mb.

The problem was that the bundle EXPIRED, I was not notified, and got automagically switched to a rape rate.

Just because the ISP has not warned you that you have spent your data you feel robbed? Should the bank warn you that you are eating into your savings too? Should your phone come with a red light like a fuel gauge? No if they took the airtime and you got no value, that would be robbery.
