Cheapest mobile broadband dongle???

I am looking to buy a broadband dongle to be used on my laptop.
I do not want to be tied in to a contract as I will only be using it infrequently so a pay as you go deal seems ideal for me.Anyone know of a good deal?Do these items work in the same way as a PAYG mobile phone when you just top it up when required.?

Thanks

    If you're on a 3G network with your mobile phone, why not see how much internet access will be via that?

    T-Mobile do £99 for dongle on PAYG basis. Just top up and go. £4 per day max charge. Must use once every 180 days or number will be disconnected.
    IIRC fair usage is 3Gb a month.
    I have a cunning plan!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts.

    I got an unlocked one from eBay which allows me to use the best deal on any network at any time. I tend to use Vodafones Walk 'n' Talk for £1 a day with a PAYG SIM card. The dongle was £75.
