Ahh, answering my own question, they appear to have turned off the  
'internet' APN on mobile phone connections - has to be yesinternet  
now.. (I've always just used 'internet', so I can swap sims between  
various devices and not worry about which sim is a phone sim and which  
is data, if i needed data in a hurry somewhere.. Apart from needing to  
use a different APN on the prepaid internet sims, Optus have always  
been pretty lax in what APN you connect to to get to the internet..   
Maybe people tethering their Iphones has made them secure things up a  
bit.. :)

  We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
  and tore the world asunder
