    Its a one off fee

    Makes no difference, as the OP will need it for less than a year.

    So they'll pay much the same initially and then will be liable for extra costs if they go over the 500MB allowance. No so with the T-Mobile deal.

    The cheapest mobile internet option I know is Samba Mobile. Maximum price for the SIM is £5 ( I got mine through MSE for £1) then all my internet is free. I just stick my SIM into an unlocked smart phone and either tether or use the phone as a WIFI signal.

    Watching advertisements in order to build up a data credit. Can't imagine that will go down well in a semi-business environment.

    What a strange idea.. Not even in the same playing fields as the other suggestions.
    Really not sure why you bothered to post it....
