I have discovered:-

3 do a dongle preloaded with 12gb valid for up to a year for 100 quid. Then I can top up with 30 day validity of 1gb, 3gb, of 7gb for 15-25 quid.

Voda do the contract at £20 for 3gb on a 30 day rolling.

I think I'll try 3 first and then fallback to voda if need be.

Cheers.

Mobile Broadband (again)

Ok, I'm about to take a flat for about 3 months. Doesn't have a phone line and it's expensive to get one in for that period.

But I need broadband for work, emails etc, plus bit of general surfing.

Coverage of the post code seems to be Vodafone and 3. o2 "don't recommend" orange and T-mobile say "no coverage".

I don't want a long contract, so does anybody use either Voda or 3 pay as you go offering (neither seem to offer a rolling 30 day).

Cheers.
