so thats £25.99 a month without my calls
i pay ABOUT £130 a quarter for broadband, line rental and calls (plus VAT plus the charge for billing you)

if i buy one of those pay as you go stick things for about £50 (argos) i can top up whenever i want, no contract and no pressure on TO top up

i want to be saving money when i go back to work, not having more money to fork out than is necessary
If you are after real 'mobile broadband' as in the USB stick to plug in your laptop, and want pay as you go, I think Three is the best option, providing you have good 3g or 3g+ signal in the areas you want to use it.

Its £15 for a 3Gig cap or £10 for a 1Gig cap, which you can just topup whenever you want, however it only lasts a month each time.

Have a look at 3 - Mobile Broadband - HSDPA coverage areas for a coverage check. Click the radio button next to 'HSDPA' as that is the one you're really interested in having coverage for if you want true mobile broadband speeds, basic 3g doesn't quite cut it in my opinion.
