If you're being asked to upgrade your data plan then it's nothing to do with your phone, but your network operator.
Most likely they are detecting that you are tethering which could be against their ToS, thus they are making you pay for the extra functionality.
Alot of network operators do it.

Where are you, and what carrier? I hope this doesn't happen to me.

It's scary to learn that there actually exist a carrier on earth that would really turn on such non-cost effective functions in the middleware appliances for examining each tcp packet in the mobile network so as to identify the signatures of possible PC applications at the expense of processing overhead and overall bandwidth for just tiny number of users who are actively tethering.
I can only suggest avoiding that smartass carrier at all cost.

I believe most operators look at the TTL of packets to determine if throttling is in use (if your using the phone as a modem then the TTL would be decremented by one).
I haven't tried this but you could add an extra chain to Mobile Hotspots IP-table rules that would increment the TTL by +1.
I believe that should work.
Edit:
Maybe something like this might work:

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i wlan0 -j TTL --ttl-inc 1

All,

It worked fine up until sometime in January, I think it started acting up when 1.3 was released IIRC.
Anyone have any hints? I did some searches and saw that they recommend changing the connection settings in Ovi Suite to see if that fixes the tethering, but I know that won't affect MobileHotspot so I was wondering if anyone else has any suggestions?
I tried using epc.tmobile.com and internet2.voicestream.com as my access point (No username/pass) in MobileHotspot and got the same error for both.
I can surf the internet fine on my n900, I only get the upsell site when I tether or use MobileHotspot
HELP!!!! lol
I am using PR 1.3 and mobile hotspot. and I just tested, I am still able to surf the web using the 9.99 plan.
PS: epc.tmobile.com is definitely a no no. your 9.99 plan can only access internet2.voicestream.com

No issues here.

All,
I am in Arlington VA using TMobile. I'll try adding that extra rule, I'm a lil bit knowledgeable about ipchains

Ok...update...When I put my SIM card in my cousins G2 he can tether all day everyday. So I am thinking it's my phone. Now I am wondering...why it started happening all of a sudden?
I guess I can reflash my phone and see if that works
