As for the dongle option, I use the Huawei 7.2Mb stick on Vodafone and it is a bit hit or miss as to whether or not you get a decent signal, but when you pick up strong 3G, it is very quick. The onboard software tells you the quality of the signal, which is useful and it all comes pre-loaded on the USB stick, so it really is plug and play. I signed up to an 18 month contract at £25 a month, but that gave me the hardware for free and I got six months free on my contract, so it should balance out over the term.
