internet connection deals for the tablet? ideally pay as you go along. we also use tethering at home but having another option would be great.

Without knowing any details, your choices may be of plugging a USB modem into the Tablet, creating a Wireless HotSpot with an existing Smartphone or buying a dedicated portable Wireless Hotspot; such as this:

If it's a wifi only tablet then you can either get a mifi device or maybe set up a smartphone as a hotspot. If your usage is low (750MB a month) and you don't mind getting a few adverts then maybe http://ovivomobile.com/ would work for you - it's a one off £15 charge. They use the vodafone network so you'd need to check if that has 3G coverage wher you intend using the tablet.0

Tether at home? To what do you tether and why?
Do you mean use via WiFi using your home broadband connection?
Do you have a broadband(landline/cable) connection at home coming in via a wireless router? Who supplies your home Internet connection?
Is it that you are wanting to use your Tablet away from home? What brand and model number of Tablet?
We don't know what you have currently, so cannot advise which of the options in the earlier posts would be best for your until we get more details from you.0 -
network for one of the computers. at mo we have no other broadband apart from that. it would be good to ahve another option on my child's tablet. we also dont have tv anymore and would like to have 2 computers connected to the net to download movies and surf internet with maybe eventually option of a third. any tips really really appreciated. hope that clarifies things!0

For the amount of data you are envisaging, PAYG mobile Internet data limits aren't going to make the cut.
Perhaps you can continue tethering using the One Plan on a 30 day contract.
Which products are you using to tether currently?0
