    With monthly contracts, a thing to be careful with is run-on rates if you go over the maximum data transfer. T-mobile don't charge you but may restrict usage after warning you, whilst some will start charging per MB and this can become expensive.

    You could always buy a 12GB-upfront deal from Three for about £80, which includes the first 12GB of data - or 12 months - which ever is shortest. Then it stops working, and you can either top it up as a PAYG dongle (usually more expensive) - or more helpfully you know how long it's taken you to use 12GB so have an idea of what kind of contract will suit. TV streaming may eat into your usage.

    If paying upfront is a problem, order it from Littlewoods (£15 off first order) for £74 free delivery, interest free payments over 52 weeks (£1.43 per week) and if you use cashback websites, cashback available via quidco.com

    If you are going to be using it at home, landline internet is a much better (and probably cheaper) option for streaming a lot of video.
