I'm thinking of getting a Mobile Broadband USB modem on PAYG, but what is
the best network to use?
Thanks.

It's called Pay As You Go Add-On. Rates are £10 = 1GB, £15 = 3GB, £25
= 7GB - or 30 days whichever comes first.

You buy a voucher and 'activate' it on line, making sure to select the
'Broadband xGB' option to the value of your voucher - otherwise it
counts as mobile phone data rates at £1 per MB.
Online top-ups are via a registered credit card on your My3 account.
Just bought the ZTE modem, and am getting download speeds of 1100
kbps.

Interesting. Cheaper if you're a heavy downloader or need it for a short
period, more if you aren't. I notice that there are none of these on ebay,
and Three don't seem to have a SIM-only offer, which is unusual. It's a bit
of a pain to buy a phone and then sell it on. How do topups work if you're
out-of-country?

obtain it loacally, PAYG which you then have the option of converting credit
to 1Gb £10or 3Gb £15or 7Gb £25.
Works at a connected 3.6Mbs, but download rate is 1.15Mbs, uploads at
286Kbs, 3 signal is 1 bar of 5 here so not bad, I have not yet found
anywhere in the Portsmouth area even in buildings where it does not connect.
Installed perfectly first time although it has a habit of making the
computer rediscover a new USB device every time, 30sec delay, if you plug in
to a different port.
Highly recommended.
