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.

T-Mobile give you:

£7.50/month - Unlimited (1GB fair use - not a cap but they ask you  
to use less, IM/IRC not officially allowed but work anyway)
£12.50/month - Unlimited (3GB fair use, IM/IRC etc. allowed  
officially (i.e. supported)).
£22.50/month - Unlimited (10GB fair use, all services allowed  
including VoIP).

Or if you don't have a contract with them, you can have a web-only  
package for £20/month which gives you a USB or PC-card modem (maybe  
only USB now) for £20/month which allows everything.

Finally, if you buy a PayG SIM card, data is capped at £1/day. So in  
any 24 hour period, you can use all the data you want for £1. IRC and  
IM work.

O2 have the worst deal - £7.50/month for Unlimited 200MB with a  
cap, after which you pay £1.80/MB. Which strikes me as 200MB, not  
Unlimited. And they block everything bar websites, pretty much.
