For anyone wondering here's the answer on the iPhone SIMsO2, the iPhone service provider in the UK, claims it will disconnect anyone using the new tethering feature in the iPhone 3.0 update without signing up for its bolt-on data package.
iPhone owners who have installed the iPhone 3.0 update are reporting that it is possible to use the new tethering solution to hook up a laptop to use an iPhone’s internet connection for free.
O2 intends to roll out a tethering Bolt On with the launch of the iPhone 3G S today. O2’s iPhone tethering bolt-on will cost up to £29.36 a month. However reports indicate that iPhone users have been able to get around this requirement.
O2 has threatened to disconnect anyone using tethering, as it will be in breach of their contract. “Any use of this particular feature without the purchase of the bolt-on is specifically prohibited under our terms of service,” O2 said. “Under those terms, we reserve the right to charge customers making modem use of their iPhone or disconnect them.”

I used emails and just kept on asking for my refund and challenging any refusals. In some ways email is best - you get hard copy of their replies rather than having to make your own notes on what they say.
I did have my credit card company ready to charge back the £10.0 -

Doesn't this only apply to the new phone? Can the old phones use the new software and will they all have to comply with the new rules?
If I bought an old phone and was promised free internet access I would not expect them to change the rules half way through the contract!0 -

I think they'll apply it across the board after all the second generation has the same firmware now and its that that allows tethering rather than the new hardware. You still get unlimited on the iPhone (new or old) but not tethering.0
