I get you, my last apartment in another state was chill like this. But right now? No. If I don't pay my internet bill in 24 hours, it turns off. If I don't pay my electric or gas on the date the bill is issued for (e.g: the 4th) they send a billion notices on the 5th, and slap you with late fees on the 6th.
That's... Atypical. Ive lived in several cities and states and never encountered anything resembling that. Like, I have ComEd now, and it's basically how other dude described. I get the bill nearly a month before it's due.
A lot of utilities and such have the option to change pay dates online, I'd scrounge for that. Otherwise just call them, keep your phone handy and on speaker phone.
