More Information

So if you find yourself close to using up your monthly quota, you can simply purchase a 'block' of data online, and keep surfing without being Shaped. Alternatively, if you find yourself already over quota and subject to Shaping controls, you can purchase additional quota, have Shaping removed, and return to normal speed.

The Data Blocks are effectively an additional allowance that is added - just once - to your monthly base quota. If you find that you do this often, it may be more cost-effective to schedule a plan change to a higher quota plan, which will happen on your next billing date.
