Other new thing I have noticed in Mumbai is that the APN www is not working for any mobile data plan. The apn protalnmms is only working and its too slow.
----------
Network Mode Selection is Handset feature. So, If my 3G Data Pack is active (e.g Rs 100 for 100 MB), then if I use that bundled data in UMTS , it may be consumed fast bcoz speed will be high, but if i change it to GSM Mode, only spped will be reduced but it won't effect the charges.
So, what i feel is, changing Handset Mode will only make ease to control on the usage, but it has nothing to do with pricing and services which are actually active on the MSISDN Number.
they will not cap any thing based on your plan. if you are on 2G network and on 2G plan you amount will be deducted fromm free usage of say 2GB. But if you are hooked to 3G network, you will be getting high speeds and charged at 10p/10KB or 2p/10KB (as per your luck).

@IndianMascot I am talking the other way round. If you have 3G activated and you buy 2G plan.

In this way, I am enjoying 3G Services without any extra charges, but Mobile Internet @ 2G speed. Also let me explain you technically. Operators provision components according to customer opting for various plan. If I opt for PAYG plan, then they have separate component and if I opt 2G Data plan, they have different component. These components are so programmed that they provide us speed or features as per capping set in the component. and thats how system moniters each and every number. There is nothing to do with Handset feature. Even if I activate my 3G Data Plan and use non 3G handset, it would be my bad luck to get slow speed where as when same Sim card will be inserted on 3G enabled handset, it will get throtled speed.
but later they rectified the bug and data speed was capped.So, In case of Vodafone, you can try it out. If you would be lucky enough, you will get 3G bandwidth, else if they too have placed the right mechanismt, you will get capped speed
