Best Mobile Broadband Dongle

I'm after some advice, I'm looking to get a 3g dongle on PAYG and was wondering what is the best one for speed and connectivity (connectivity being most important).
I think I'm gonna go with 3 as I think they're the cheapest PAYG option but if thats not the case then just say.

Thanks

You should think about the coverage of their high speed 3g network. I have found 3 to be poor for the wireless and as such it a waste.

3 have a 1gig limit i think.If you do a reinstall +updates won't have much left..

I read on a Vodafone leaflet yesterday that they have the best coverage based on the world’s biggest survey….something like that 3Gb, free dongle £15 pm 24 months contract :S

I think vodaphones is the best deal, I get discount from them as well because they have a shop at the airport that helps.

I'm after a PAYG option, its not going to be a replacement for my broadband its going to be for when I come back to the UK a couple of times a year and I'll be mainly around London, Oxford and Wolverhampton.

PAYG in a city then just get 3.

My PAYG 3 dongle works well. £15 for 3 gig bandwidth for 30 days.

Whats the best dongle to try and get, the E220 or ZTE?? Is one better than the other or both just as good??

The ZTE as apparently it supports a higher bandwidth.

Ive only used the Vodafone USB one and they are pretty impressive. Ive had no problems getting the full 7.2Mb connection from them.
