Incredibly, just before I bought one, the peeps I bought my lappy from offered me one for free, no contract pay as you go £2 per meg

Lucky bugger - the only one I can get that'll work at my folk's is the Orange one & it's going to cost £150 unless I can bully them into giving me it as an upgrade instead of me upgrading my current phone......

I bought a Vodafone one last weekend. Still waiting for my first connection. Just exchanged the "possibly faulty" card tonight!

While i remember - you need to be sure you're PC has no virus/spyware infections if you use one of these cards; otherwise you may get a huge bill for all the data they use...

Just managed a painfully slow GPRS connection and loaded up 2 web pages out of about 15 I tried (Blonde not being one of them).
I consider this to be progress!

Now fully up and running on both GPRS and 3G. GPRS is similar to dial-up speed. 3G seemed very quick and comparable to Broadband!
It looks like it'll suit my purposes well so I'd recommend it based on my limited use so far!

Just got this from Pokerstars when I asked how much data was transferred playing online:
The amount of traffic sent to and from the client depends on many
factors, including how busy the site is, and whether you keep the main
lobby or tournament lobby open (doing so increases traffic).
Once you're in a game with all lobby windows minimized, a game will
average about 10 k download per minute, and 5 k upload. This can vary
with the speed of the game.
Each return visit to the main lobby (and opening the software for the
first time) will result in a burst download of about 300 KB, and 25 KB
uploaded.
I hope this has answered your question completely. Please do not
hesitate to let us know any time you need anything.
