Also the "3" pay as you go give you 150Mb a month every time you top-up (the data lasts 90+ days)
You can usually pick up a second hand dongle on the cheap and pick up a payg "3" sim and stick it in.

you can upgrade the data to 1Gb for an extra £10
or 3Gb for £15
7Gb = £35 for a month.

You also get free Skype and MSN messenger (even with NO topup!!)

I found Orange Business Dongle to be the best deal around at the min. The deal is: Free Dongle and £10 a month by Direct Debit (£13 if you pay in store) for unlimited surfing per month. You don’t have to be in business to have a business dongle. I found it to be great without any problems whatsoever. As a addon to the dongle you can purchase a mem card (£6) to insert into the dongle for saving Doc’s pic,s etc. Hope this helps.

The "whilst working away" section made me think this was for a temporary time.

If your useage is low Vodafone have no expiry on their credit, but you pay a premium for this (I got a dongle and 1Gb for £29 after Quidco).

If you decide how long you need to use your dongle for, and what sort of usage you will need, this should help you decide which package to go for.

With PAYG the only one that doesn't expire the bandwith you bought after 30 days is Vodafone.

3G is very location dependent and if it drops to GPRS you are talking dialup speeds.
