Best recommendations for data use?

I'm looking for a new contract, after just obtaining my pac from vodafone. Most of my charges are for data use, as I often check the web/collect my emails from my phone. I've found vodafone to be quite expensive for data usage, often adding £8 - £15 to my monthly bill.

Does anyone have any recommendations to a contact with decent data usage included?

Cheers

    t-mobile, three and vodafone all have fixed price 'unlimited' data bolt ons... I use T-mobile web'n'walk; you need to look at how you will be using your phone rather than the data side of it to decide, because that really is the easy bit!

    T-Mobile: web'n'walk, £7.50/mo, 1GB fair use (after which you are told to reduce usage, and then have your speed reduced etc). No p2p, modem use, IM or VoIP (although modem use and IM are allowed on web'n'walk plus for £12.50/mo)

    O2: Unlimited Web Bolt On £7.50/mo, non-specific limit fair use ("private, personal and non-commercial" use on your mobile phone - no modem, p2p, voip, streaming)

    Vodafone: Web Pack, £7.50/mo, 120MB limit (after which you are billed at normal rates, AFAIK)

    Three: x-series silver £5/mo, 1GB FUP

    Orange: some 30MB of off-peak browsing pack for £7.50 a month

    Basically, Three, T-Mobile and O2 are the best value for money (although T-Mobile and Three probably have a better data network - see recent stories about O2 limiting 3G speeds, also remember that Three and T-Mobile are combining efforts to build the biggest 3G network).

    Vodafone is pants, and Orange is just a joke.
