For anyone who has a Netbook/Laptop but do not have mobile broadband and would like to keep online while on holiday this could be a solution, for £8.99 plus a £10 top up, you do, on the first connection (cost £2 out of the £10 topup) get a 30 day continous mobile broadband connection. After this it will cost you £2 for each connection that lasts 24 hours.There is no contract, you get a topup card with it and I think you can top up online. As I understand it you can use it on as many computers as you like although I am not sure if this is applicable if you use the enclosed software.I used the plug an play method and it worked perfectly. You do have to make at least one connection every 180 days otherwise you will be cut of for good.You would have to check that you can activate the 30 days free broadband sometime in the future, say when you are going on holiday.If you connect it to your laptop when you get home after buying it it will automaticly activated the 30 days from that point. You could lend it out to you friends charging them the £2 a day connection fee if you did this to run down the topup it would finish up costing you £10.99 for continous broadband connection while on holiday. I think this mobile broadband is ideal for occasional use. In S26 I get mobile broadband speed of 2.7 Mbps.

PS bought mine in Fargate City Centre

I just picked up a TMobile dongle and use the Pay as you Go sim I have, that costs me no more than £1 per 24 hours of access... if I use it one day, I pay.. if I don't use it, I don't pay :)

seems that this is the 'designed for dongle' version of that (cause by rights mines meant to be for a mobile phone ;))
