It's probably simpler for me to just pay for the damn tethering
add-on, but part of me is annoyed at the restriction and wishes to try
to bypass it :)

The charge is to attempt to mitigate the Tragedy of the Commons which would

In practice that all said I've never run into any restrictions with T

Um, but the people who watch hours of videos on their telephones are
the cause of bandwidth problems, not the people who tether their
laptops so they can open attachments more easily or run git push

Just fyi, EU Data prices on my O2 phone dropped between may and July from
£2.55+ vat per meg to £0.58+vat. £100 cap and 300MB max.
Outside Europe it's still £6/mb. I tore through £50 between the airport and
hotel in Delhi last week while checking the taxi driver was taking me the right
way!

The joys of corporate deals :)
I think I (or my employer) was charged £1.80 a minute while i was in Pakistan
last year. I dread to think how much it cost!

I got through a gig of data before they caught on last time, in a fairly short

There's no need. You can't throw a stone in London without hitting at least
three shops that will sell you SIMs and top-up vouchers.

3 can be quite good with the traffic detection if it's obvious.
In my experience, 5 or so hours of usage (unauthorised tethering) and they're

Hello all,
I'm making a whirlwind visit to London and bits of Europe soon,
although with awfully poor timing, just missing YAPC:EU :(
Hopefully I'll manage to run into a few of you while I'm in London though.
The last time I visited, I picked up an Orange SIM that had Unlimited
data on the plan..
