02 mobile broadband

Despite using the same modem as 3, O2’s pay-as-you-go (PAYG) service undercuts by quite some margin on the set-up cost. O2’s pricing is the most balanced, comprising the best value for money to PAYG customers. Impressively, you can choose not to pay for a whole month of use if you don’t need it – instead you can opt for the cheaper single day (£2 for 500MB) and week (£7.50 for 1GB) prices aimed at the less-frequent user.

O2 also offers unlimited Wi-Fi access to The Cloud (www.thecloud.net), which could help keep your bandwidth low if you’re local to one of these networks.
