Best data tariffs?

What networks have the best data prices atm? Id prefer something p&g depending on the price but I will pay for a cheap data only contract, what would be really good is if there is a provider that lets me buy a certain amount of bandwidth as a one off payment for one month a bit like those o2 bolt ons but without having to have a contract.

On their website though it seems you have to have it coupled with something else, which is what I dont want. For less than that price of £27 I could get a 3g 2gb per month contract with them.

The only data tariff that I used to know of was on Orange and they stoped it a couple of months ago (dolph?).

Not aware of a month-by-month data contract (i.e. no minimum 12 months) that doesn't need to be a bolt-on onto an existing voice tariff). All of them seem to be either business-oriented data only tariffs (12 months minimum), or bolt-ons to existing voice tariffs.

O2 do various tiers of data only tariffs (12 months minimum, mind), and you can even get a normal phone on a data-only tariff (for example, the XDA series).
