Bell(tm) internet anyone?

Anyone here using Bell internet and have experience with
downgrading from their unlimited plan at $100/mo to $85/mo for
100GB?
I have a friend who is with the service and I've been tasked to
make adjustments to save them money with the service where I
can. Recently, we started one billing period at the unlimited
for $100/mo plan. Then, about 15 days in, I noticed that my
friend only used barely 20GB. So.. I switched the plan to the
100GB for $85/mo.
According to Bell, they claim to make prorated adjustments.
Bell, in their seemingly wise wisdom, managed to charge MORE
than we expected. Infact, their total calculation came to
$103.50!
Here's how..
From Sept 17 to Sep 23:
[o] internet unlimited, $100, 7 days, Amount 23.33
[o] internet 100GB, $85CR, 7 days, Amount 19.83CR
Total Partial and Other Charges & Credits: 3.50
Total Internet Charges 103.50
How does that even work?
To me... a more honest calculation to benefit the user would
be:
$100, 16 days used, .: prorate for 16 days, .: (16/30)100 = $53.33
$85, 14 days remaining, .: prorate for 14 days, .: (14/30)85 = $39.67
.: total monthly = 53.33 + 39.67 = 93.00
