I have o2 payg bb, it says 1gh does anyone know how long 1gb will last all I want to do is mainly surfing and a downloading some software.

1gb is nothing really. One film is around 700mb. If you're on PAYG won't it just cut off when you have reached your limit?

Averagely surfing standard websites (with graphics but no video) you should get around 40 hours but if you download ANYTHING it reduces proportionately, ie, if you download three pieces of software of 100mb then you will cut your surfing by a third.
Also remember that although 40 hours sounds allot, it isn't. Its just over an hour a day and that's just surfing, add a download or two and you will have eaten that up within a few days.

thanks for the help, I'm working away from home for a couple of days so just need payg for the time i'm away, not sure if I should pay £15.00 for 30 days or £7.50 for 7 days

the £7.50 say 1GB + unlimited wi fi - i've no idea what that means

Just open your web browser when at the hotspot and it will tell you how.

If you are 3 miles away from the hotspot you won't be connecting, if you're 30 metres away maybe, at a push
