Default 3 internet dongles?

It seems to be a case of paying £15 and getting 3Gb of download.

Is it a case of paying £15 a month and if you haven't used the 3Gb
within that month - tough? Or Are you paying £15 and can use up the 3Gb
when it suits you.

Really, I need something I can use like the latter. I have wired
broadband access most of the time, but something to provide access for
the odd few days/weeks away per year would be useful, without paying for
what would go unused.


I just bought a Vodaphone PAYG USB dongle. Seems to work fine, but i'd
mention:

You pay £15 for every 1GB of data. The £35 dongle comes with 1GB, which
is nice, but you have to connect at least once every 180 days. I think
if you forget you lose whatever credit you have.

80% coverage is nothing like - I suspect it's a reference to population,
so much of the countryside appears to be out.

The nice Mac application doesn't work with Snow Leopard.

HTH, Rob
