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>

Hi,

In my opinion, plan is just a plan which doesn't means it would be come into effective. Since Cost was already set as Unrestricted,  the plan would be lost effective.
