Internet plan in HotSpot software is preset of values that are assigned when you generate or refill accounts.
For example, Internet plan defines the price which customers should pay for specified time usage, data transferred, download and upload rate, but may also define the expiration date, daily limits, etc.
When you generate user accounts, tickets, and refills, the values defined by Internet plan are stored in the database for each account.
If you refill an account with an Internet plan, time and quota values are added to the current account values.
If an Internet plan has unlimited settings for time and quota, an account will also become unlimited for these values.
Download and upload rate, the expiration date and other values defined by Internet plan used for a refill, are assigned to the account no matter which values the account has had before.
