mobile broadband advice

I am due to finah my current mobile broadband deal with orange and have been paying £15 a month. Rather than just stick with orange i wanted to see what other deals are out there and if anyone can advise me on the best package for me. I have to stick with mobile broadband as i dont have a phone line.

I use the internet for approx 2 hours everyday. I never watch films or download music, tv shows etc, i mostly use the internet for facebook and entering competitions online. I send approx 3 emails a week.

Using the above info, is there a specific deal that anyone can reccomend? Orange currently has one for existing customers for £5 a month but i dont understand the usage and speed allowances etc.

Also, does anyone know of any good cash back deals for mobile bb?

Thank you very much :)

    The Orange existing customer £5 deal is for 500MB usage - which is pretty low and I don't think it would cover daily use - even if light.

    How much usage does your current deal offer? It sounds like you would probably need a few GB's of usage and you'd be worse off getting a cheaper deal and exceeding your limit than if you paid a bit extra and got a deal that adequately covers your usage.

    So what is your current allowance and your current usage? £15 a month would cover you for landline rental and a cheaper (depending on your exchange) bb ADSL package, with much greater speed.
