    To get this you need to connect once every 180 days.

    Vodafone top up lasts forever. So for your uses Voda has to be best, although the data charges are higher. Wish I'd known that before I bought my 2 PAYG dongle.
    Know the difference between what you WANT and what you NEED. :T

    For what it's worth I have used O2 mobile BB and returned it as I had not used even 1GB after 30 days so basically lost the remainder of the money/allowance.

    I now use Vodafone @ £15.00 /GB or 180 days and have so far used under £1.00 in the last 3 weeks.

    Vodafone suits my personal needs very well and connection speed has so far always been spot on.

    Thanks very much for all of your replies - very useful indeed

    Does anyone know if I can just get a Vodfone PAYG mobile broadband simcard and put it into my Three dongle to save o the cost of buying a new dongle ? Or indeed whether I can flog my three dongle without the sim?

    Thanks again

    I think the dongles are firmware locked, but if not I'm sure someone will be along in a minute to advise otherwise. I would imagine that you can switch the SIM for another on the same network only.
    The dongles are unlockable but not cheaply.

    Be careful with these PAYG dongles..many areas are not suitably signalled.
