Default Which Mobile Broadband is best deal?

I have searched and found various but just thought i'd ask again.

Most folk seem to be on 3? Is vodafone any good?

dont suggest my mobile as its for WORK use on my laptop while in the clients buildings.

this will obviously go on expenses so work pay for it

what mobile do you use?

if it a 3g handset just pug it in with the USB cable and use that, save yourself a load of money

w880 on o2.

i'd rather not fuck about with that and kill phone battery etc.

work paying so doesnt really matter.

so is 3 any good? or better with voda or orange?

I went for 3, purely for the pay-as-you-go option. Its been ok so far for the few times I've needed to use it whilst out and about.

The £15 deal on the '3' dongle has a 5gig limit where as the rest of £15pm deals on orange/t-monile/voda have 1+2 gig llimit and totally rape you if u go over the allowance!
