The misses used to use a Three dongle, to be fair it worked fine most of the time, only the odd occasion it would drop the connection.

But you will have to pay abit more if you want no data caps, if you have a cheap deal it will be capped and you wont be able to use youtube etc

Pretty sure Vodaphone pay as you go can be topped up via Voucher, not sure on the download speed.

If you go for a contract one it works out better due to the speed.

Have you checked the coverage in your area for the different networks?

Thats the best idea really. My cousin lives in same town as me but the other side of town and he uses a t mobile dongle and its alright but shit if he come to my house. Ive got one on orange just in case and i get 3g+ be cause i live about 200 metres away from an orange mast lol. its quicker than my home broadband a lot of the time
