Just asked for the Pac codes and gave the tethering as the reason for leaving. Three didn't at any stage attempt to offer me a new deal it would also seem that whilst my contract ended nov14. I'm limited on tethering but my wifes contract ended Sept14 yet she is still on unlimited tethering
I asked why the difference? and It would seem that they are working their way through the customer list and I suspect Pat uses less data than me and they haven't got that far yet. Due to unreliability of signal, we have recently gone to EE mifi at 25gb per month for £30 and the service is quite good. A number of the above posters have wondered why or how folk have high(ish) usage, so to properly explain: We are not slaves to soap operas or strictly come novelty TV programs that mainly populate the TV schedule. So we find we mainly want to use BBC iplayer and other stations catch up services to specifically watch programs we are interested in etc Also watch Netflix to also view what "we want", especially as I work long and odd hours driving from Northampton to Scotland and back and I find being constrained to the dire TV schedule somewhat uninspiring . We always play back directly from mifi now through to apple TV plus some you tube where as before it was from iPhone to apple TV.
The most usage I ever had was 20gb on three when watching back to back "Orange is the new Black" on Netflix last June
