    there isn't really a truely pay as you go broadband option - you'd still have to pay a minimum fee each month.

    I want the small dongle thing that you plug into laptops on the go not home wireless.
    I need it for traveling. T-mobile do it for £50 for the dongle and £20 per month pay as you go. http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-broadband/pay-per-day-options/

    I think its called mobile broadband, but I want to pay as I go, not may monthly.
    I wanted to know of any good deals. £50 for the dongle is a bit steep with xmas lurking.

    £50 is steep but thats because you're not comitting yourself to a contract

    the only other option is to look on ebay for one

    I have a T-Mobile PAYG dongle, £49.99 less £20 cashback from Quidco then £2/day, £10/week or £20/30 days. Good value in my book for occasional use. Just be aware of the coverage issues with mobile broadband.

    Just posted a similar question myself....

    I think best option for me looks like Three - not strictly PAYG, but £100 gets you the dongle and then 1GB a month for 12 months.

    Not a massive allowance but depends on what you need.
