Vodafone have an addon for any monthly contract that gives 120mb per
month for £7.50.
Naturally the site is very lacking in details. No mention of what they
charge for more than 120mb, or whether this is total traffic or just
download.
I used GPRS and found it pretty fast to download, and even large pages
(>350k) completed quite quickly. Most impressive was the way the browser
re-assembled page stricture and re-sized images to make them viewable.
Pings will of course be awful without 3G. However I think Dilwyn is
*very* unlikely to be within miles of 3G. The *only* place I have found
it in my area is central London.
However pings and the like for his website updates will not be an issue.
