Its not a surprise if you research their price structure. Essentially they charge very small amounts every second or minute to accumulate through the month. It can sometimes be a difficult thing to calculate up front, but they aren't hiding anything from you. Its just not broken down by the month, and unfortunately its not all in one place..
