Does anyone know of any decent deals out there? It'll need to allow me to VPN into work (a mate seems to struggle with his...not sure if it's the VPN or the dongle) & not be limited on data transfer. Cheers.

I purchased one from o2 for 9.99 then you just top up online for what you need ie 1 day, week or a month.

I have an O2 Pay&Go one as per SuperScale above. £15 for a month or 3GB. Allows me to VPN into work and I've never hit the limit of it.

FYI: o2's 3G network is limited at best - they have less than half the number of 3G transmitters that the market leader Three have. Three are heading towards 99% population coverage on 3G by the end of the year - o2 are still in the low 80's.

The approximate coverage of the 3G networks is:

Three - 96% (also roam onto Orange when the host network isn't available)
Orange - 93%
T-Mobile - 92% (though currently integrating their 3G network with Three)
Vodafone - 87%
o2 - 84%
