I disagree completely.
Using it as a replacement for a home broadband connection was not the intention and it was never promoted that way.
The whole point of the One Plan was to offer a plan where you could use your phone as much as you wanted to, without having to worry about allowances.
The average user would have used Tethering with their tablet or laptop when they were out of the home, not to connect several devices 24/7. For these purposes, an allowance of 2GB-8GB is going to be adequate.
Tethering has not generally been promoted by any network. They much prefer to sell mobile broadband deals.
