Which is the cheapest overall 3g dongle for the UK? I've found a t-mobile one for £30 and pay £2 a day, good value for not much use. I don't want a contract because I'll only use it on holidays etc.
Got a tip for us?

PAYG 3G Dongle

I wouldn't use T-Mobile, price isn't everything, coverage is way way way more important. You can check coverage maps online, every network has different areas that are covered, as a rule of thumb, Orange and 3 tend to have the best 3G coverage, but Vodafone isn't bad as well. Sometimes, including where i live, i find i dont have a mobile phone signal at all, or even 3G on my mobile phone, but my 3G dongle gets a full 7.2MBPS connection!!! Its pretty random, but nevermind 
it's PAYG
anyway, 3 have some good offers normally on PAYG
3 generally have good offers but they're a bloody nightmare. I don't know anyone who's been happy with them, then again we were all on phone contracts.
I'd personally still avoid them simply because their customer service is a joke. Badly trained Indian call centres who at times seem to purposely missunderstand and at one point ended up shouting down the phone at me. (about something which was their mistake, and was costing me £30 a month. A mistake they never rectified)
