I've just ordered a BT Sim you get 14 days to try it, so will report back about tethering etc there seems to be some people saying you can and some can't.
I'm on three and got the dreaded letter. The deal with BT looked too good not to try

I switched mine to Threes 200 mins, unlimited text, unlimited data, 12gb tether, 12 months, £18/month (think its gone up to £20 now though).
Actually cheaper than what I was paying on the One Plan after upgrading to an iPhone
That's the tariff I put my kids on, I'm still o the one plan, use 1gb or less pm on tether and 20+ on phone, if and when I get knocked off I'll take the above tariff mself.
That would be an understatement.
Plenty of deals offering more than 3gb for £15!
And Three will offer retention deals with more data for less, and no contract (I have one).

So much grief caused be the folk who abused the tethering on 3.
I hope they are proud of the extra cost we are all now having stump up.
Wish I could get them to pay my excess cost.

No, they just fobbed your Dad off. I'm in the same position as you and phoned them to request my PAC and they offered me the exact same deal as you. I turned it down though and am switching to Vodafone. The fact that I don't get a signal at work with 3 and 12 months Netflix swung it in their favour.
Yes, it makes a Netflix account for you that you can use on any device
I'm right in thinking that if you already have a Netflix account, even if it's no longer active, they simply credit it with the equivalent cost of a 12 month subscription.
I believe that's correct yes.
I got the Vodafone deal the other day (20gb data, unlimited mins/texts and an entertainment pack) for £20 a month, less than I was paying for 8GB! The entertainment pack makes it really worth it IMHO plus no issues with tethering

I just got a limited time (upgrade) deal for unlimited + 20GB data and 12months Spotify premium for £20/m which as I'm currently paying for Spotify premium means that is effectively £10/m for the phone plan.
Bit of a chore changing over though as I've got to remember to cancel the Spotify account and then remember to renew it through Vodafone when it has expired.
EDIT: Wow - by pure chance managed to snag a Galaxy Note 4 through work for £187 off the retail price
not a bad little upgrade combined with the above offer.

Add my 2p
I have been on the £15 unlimited everything including Tethering for about 4 yrs
this morning a letter popped thru the letterbox informing me that all the old contracts are being stopped and they would like to offer me unlimited texts data and calls for £30 a month minus £3 a month Loyalty discount
my first reaction was stuff that £27 a month
but after a little thinking if this includes unlimted tethering I could do away with my landline altogether
the letter actually say NOTHING about tethering so I guess a phone call in a day or two might clear it up
without unlimited tethering I would not touch it at that price

Just to 100% confirm this, they add 12*whatever the monthly for netflix is for the mid package as credit to your netflix account and that's it, you'll show as in credit on your netflix eg mine shows:
"Your £54.93 credit will be applied to your next bill." (it's been going down since my last upgrade).
Spotify does NOT work the same way, Voda can send stop/start premium commands via the spotify system and will just be subsidised basically.
It's 12gb tethering
Spotify is a bit of a pain with the entertainment pack :S adding it to an existing premium subscription seems to require waiting until your current billing cycle expires before you can enable the voda offer on your account.
If I may chime in here, I believe if you know someone who is eligible for the Vodafone Advantage scheme you should also get 20% off. I added my mother's advantage discount to my own account (for a phone contract). You add discount after sim has been activated and it is usually applied for month 2 billing onwards in my experience.

EDIT: Do not quote me on this, but it is quite possible you can get this with this deal. Not sure how they work in conjunction with special offers.
Can confirm that's definitely the case. Just selected Netflix and it's added £89.88 credit (equivalent of 1 years sub) to my account.
They can try, the reply callsign might consist of something along the lines of "Foxtrot, Oscar".
