And before anyone says "not another Three thread", I'm only posting this because I've just been told earlier today in a Three store. That goes for 12month and 1month sim only deals, she said their contract phone plans have changed already too.
So if you want unlimited tethering get it before the 15th folks

Don't know what to believe sometimes lol. Although it's going to be the last week for it that's for sure
But there was a thread started only a few days ago, saying exactly the same thing: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1981898
All this extra thread means is that we have to end up repeating everything over and over, when people start to say tethering has already ended, or that existing customers will lose it, or that contracts 'expire'.
A lot of assumptions are being made that it's a 2GB limit. Hopefully some people will be pleasantly surprised!
Jon, i didnt know that we already knew it was on the 15th, i thought it was just '' sometime in july'' hence why i made a new thread to tell everyone of the exact date.
If anything ive said here turns out to be wrong then blame the Redditch Three store lol
We don't create a new thread every time someone finds a new place that has 4G coverage do we? It goes in an existing thread.
And as for the tethering allowance, I've been told a different amount which isn't the same as the handset tariffs. There might also be some additional (time limited) promotions on one or more of them, presumably to entice people to sign up or possibly even upgrade, if things like free 0800 calling is of interest, and tethering isn't deemed vital (beyond the amount included, with the ability to 'top up' the tethering allowance every now and then).
Sales people don't know what they're talking about half the time.
A standard mobile plan with handset data included, along with the option to buy extra tethered data at the same price as their mobile broadband plans, but built into the same sim. Then I've got the flexibility of using or buying extra tethering when I want it, without having to buy an extra device - (and NOT slowed down by trafficsense because I've paid extra for it!!)
Couldn't this be offered as a bolt on or similar?
It's a shame to see that unlimited tethering is coming to an end. Like others on this thread, I don't routinely use it, but it has been great in certain situations where I've found myself without an internet connection, and on those occasions, nice to have the flexibility to go over 2gb.
Then just go buy the one plan today. It'll still be unlimited after. For £20 its good.
Except for the extra throttling and "let's get the freeloaders off the network" measures 3 has and will probably introduce in the future.
A capped mobile broadband addon would imply no throttling.
Besides I don't get throttled on my plan really. It depends a lot on the area you're in and how much you use.
As I said above, they said 2gb in store, if it's higher then she was wrong. But she didn't look anything up on the system or go to check with anyone else, she just told me straight off the bat, seemed very confident
You should trust people on here more than in the stores!
Don't expect it to be anywhere near 10GB.
I think wavejock mentioned the tethering limit in another thread.

Monday makes sense.
£15 one plan, how did you manage that
I have got that as well. That was the price when I signed up back in December last year.
Before they hiked the prices a 5er recently. On my bill it says £25 12 Month One plan. Then I have a £10 discount every month.
Fair play that's a bargain
