I currently have a 1gb data limit from orange this includes tethering which I am now using to my tab.

Has any 1 managed to get orange to increase this limit?
 
I switched plan a few months into mine and managed to get more internet but less minutes and they also reduced my contract by £10 a month. Always surprised how useful they are when you phone them up.

This happened to me - I gave them a call and my contract went from about £50 to £40. I was using about 100 of my 1200 minutes as calls to my girlfriend are free, using lots of texts, and very little internet (as I was wary of the data limit). The new contract has unlimited texts, 200 minutes, and 500mb internet. The guy then said, for being such a loyal customer we're giving you unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited wifi (BT fon hotspots), and 2 free swappables (they're tv channels), so that brief phone call turned out to be quite rewarding!

How does Orange know that you are tethering?
Simple answer is they don't.

They know. While you may believe they don't, I can assure you as an ex-employee of the company in question, that this is far from rocket science and the stuff is already there to do it. Charging for it, now that's a bigger question and a bigger one is calling people out on it.

Simply put, not enough people do it for it to be an issue (except possibly that bloke who did 130GB on his 3 phone a month ago) for networks currently but there is no reason they couldn't start doing this overnight if they really wanted.
