Hi,
A question regarding data plan settings displayed for a mobile broadband profile in netsh. First I've provisioned a mobile broadband profile with a plan type 'Fixed', and set a 1000 MB data limit for it, this shows as expected in netsh:
Cost settings ------------- Cost : Fixed Congested : No Approaching Data Limit : No Over Data Limit : No Roaming : No Cost Source : Operator Plan settings ------------- Data Limit in Megabytes : 1000 Billing Cycle StartDate : 6th July 2015 0:00:00 Billing Cycle Duration : Number of months : 1 Billing Cycle Reset : No
After reprovisioning the profile with changed plan setting changing the cost type to Unrestricted, the netsh still shows the previously set data limit:
Cost settings ------------- Cost : Unrestricted Congested : No Approaching Data Limit : No Over Data Limit : No Roaming : No Cost Source : Operator Plan settings ------------- Data Limit in Megabytes : 1000 Billing Cycle StartDate : 10th July 2015 0:00:00 Billing Cycle Duration : Number of months : 1 Billing Cycle Reset : No
Why is that, shouldn't the limit be removed after changing the cost type? I can't see if the limit being visible in netsh affects anything, but it's rather confusing at least.
The data plan provisioning is done using the Windows.Networking.NetworkOperators.ProvisioningAgent class and the relevant XML snippets of the provisioning document look as follows:
<Plans> <Plan xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/CarrierControl/Plans/v1" Name="Test data plan"> <Description PlanType="Fixed"> <BillingCycle StartDate="2015-07-05T21:00:00.000Z" Duration="P1MT0M" Resets="false"/> <DataLimitInMegabytes>1000</DataLimitInMegabytes> ... </Description> </Plan> </Plans>
And for the latter, unrestricted plan:
<Plans> <Plan xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/CarrierControl/Plans/v1" Name="Test data plan"> <Description PlanType="Unrestricted"> <BillingCycle StartDate="2015-07-09T21:00:00.000Z" Duration="P1MT0M" Resets="false"/> ... </Description> </Plan> </Plans>
