Three have just announced an unbeatable deal for heavy mins/texts/data users. Starting from tomorrow they are reintroducing their "One Plan" tariff at a brand new price of £15pm with a 12 month agreement or £18pm with a 1 month agreement.

What you get is-

2000 Minutes
5000 Texts
5000 3 to 3 Minutes (same network)
Unlimited data on 3G (Plus 4G when it launches)
Unlimited Tethering
£15pm

Three have introduced a new 4G promise where they are upgrading customers on any exisiting tariff to 4G LTE free of charge when they launch the service later this year. Three currently have a DC-HSPA+ compatible network with 98% coverage and speeds of up to 42mbps.

With this plan there is no fair use policy on the data and people in the past have literally tethered over 200GB in the past with no issues at all. I myself use around ~30GB on average every month. Speeds are great as well as it's currently the best 3G network in the UK and i regularly get over 10mbps and even over 20mbps sometimes. And with the 4G addition coming later this year this plan provides the best value on the market by far and is actually the only unlimited data tariff which allows you to tether. No other network lets you do this.

The price before the price drop was £25pm. But at £15pm this is a bargain and will be available to buy from three tomorrow.

Only available via Phone and In Store right now

To sum up

-Unlimited data + Tethering
-Access to 3G now and 4G network when launched
-£15pm for 12 months, or £18pm for 1 month

    There is no news article because it technically doesn't exist yet.

    Here is proof though, i posted this on HUKD as well:

    Three are currently doing the deal via retentions for existing customers as well.

    I'm willing to bet my MSE account on this being 100% true. So you can pretty much take my word for it.

    That's correct.

    However the Nexus 4 is a 3G device so you wouldn't get access to 4G. But you would be able to get speeds up to 42Mbps (theoretically + depending on location) and tether to your laptop with no restrictions at all.

    I couldn't find the bit about you keeping unlimited data on Three with 4G. I know they've said you wont have to pay more but do you have a link of something stating you will keep unlimited data?

    Three pulled tethering on the one plan a while back, if you've been on it a while then you probably still have it, for new customers its a £5 a month add-on.

    Are we talking about the 12 month or 1 month One Plan? Certainly the 1 month One Plan still definitely has tethering allowed as my son signed up 2 weeks ago and is tethering no problem. No idea regarding the 12 month plan.

    Ah to clarify, they dropped the all you can eat data from The one plan, so you can tether, but its now limited.

    Its £5 a month add on on the non one plan tariffs which have all you can eat data.
