> even when you have paid for it but exceeded your monthly allowance Is this monthly allowance specific for tethering only? Otherwise that's another problem entirely. Restrictions after exceeding the monthly allowance is OK, after all that's what you're paying for. But if I'm paying for 1 GB per month of data, then I expect to use 1 GB of data unrestricted because I'm paying for it. And if that 1 GB of data comes with a fine print, then shouldn't consumer laws come into play, at least in the EU? In Romania, a local career was fined for false advertising a while back because they were promising 600 free minutes, while at the same time the indivisible billing unit was 6 or 10 minutes (instead of per second after the first minute, as everybody else was doing it). Wouldn't such laws work for data too?
