Best Mobile Broadband deal?

Has anyone seen any good mobile broadband offers?
I need mobile broadband for occasional use in Belfast city centre, just a few days a month. I was thinking of getting a Pay and Go one. I wouln't need more than 1GB every 30 days or so.
Does anyone have any experience of the different networks and speeds and types of dongles available? Any recommendations what I should go for?

I've used Three, Orange and Vodafone dongles in Belfast City Centre. I would just get a Three one as you'll get a decent connection for a competitive price. If your after the fastest speed, I found the Orange one to be fastest.

Thanks for your reply. Speed is not too important, its just for email and web browsing.
The best offer I have seen so far is from 3:
I can buy a dongle with 1GB allowance for £19.99 which lasts for 30 days, then top up £2 every day I need broadband access which will give me 500MB allowance. I will only need it around 4 times a month, so should work out at £8 a month.

Does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives?
Are there any free wifi areas in Belfast (where I dont have to buy anything?!)

If you have BT Broadband you get free Openzone minutes or alternatively use the free wifi in McDonalds. If you are buying a Three dongle, get a Mifi they are much easier to use.
