Hi Alan and All, I have a Three dongle PAYG and I am very pleased with it. It's not true PAYG because the £10 payment 1GB limit download only lasts for 30 days and if you have not used up all the capacity you loose it. Speed depends on location. If 3G is not available the dongle will find a suitable signal from what is avalable and this can sometimes also be slow BUT when 3G or even better HSDPA is avaiable the downloads fly. I have the Huawei E220 dongle, which seems the best for the price but I think there is now a faster one now. For coverage and other details look here http://www.three.co.uk/personal/products_services_/mobile_broadband_/rollout_map.omp HTH Regards, Andrew Web Site www.andrewdyke.co.uk Web Site www.mayorofevesham.co.uk
