Alerted by Martin Lewis' excellent email newsletter (Money Saving Expert), I signed up for the 3 UK £5 a month deal yesterday. It's just 1Gb bandwidth per month, but if I am not in a free wi-fi hotspot zone, all I want is email access and maybe RSS newsfeeds. 1 Gb is PLENTY!

The FREE dongle arrived this morning, with pre-loaded installers, and I was up and running in less than 5 minutes (unpacking was the longest bit!). So how does a £2 per day stack up, T-mobile?

3 UK's most expensive tariff is £30 month (on offer at 1/2 price until the end of the month for £15) for 15Gb usage. Unless T Mobile's 'Fair Use' cap is better than 20Gb per month, £20 is not competitive. At least, not until after 30th September.

This may seem like a plant, but I am not a 3 UK employee or supplier, honestly!

PS It also works on a mac, faultlessly - 2 minutes to install and get online. Eat that Webster!
