I have just looked at hi speed access and o2 are doing £20/mth 18mth contract but with no cost for exceeeding the 3gb limit until October. Their normal charge for excess is only 20p / gb which seems very reasonable. Is anyone else using this? They also give free unlimited access to their wi-Fi network where available.

For those who expect to exceed the 3gb it's a very good deal. Howeveer the "Three" contracts are cheaper if (like me) you never/rarely do as much as 1gb

The 20p "extra" is per each MB (megabyte) over quota.
The literature reads as though the offer is only available to existing O2 customers. That may, however be just my interpretation.
THREE is £15 for 3GB per month - and half that price if you are a THREE mobile user.
I think though all of this competition can only be good for us - the end customer.

3gb is a lot but beware. March last year I did 6 gigs in a month. There are 1024megs in a gig so 3072megs over allowance if I had been with O2 so a fifth of 3072 = over £600

I can't recall if I have posted this since I arrived home, too much to do, etc., etc.,
In Auchan on way home on Monday, they have their own USB dongle for €99.90 which includes €25 use
Think this is the link: Need a French address but a friend's would do

Didn't get one as on way home, and wondered if anyone thinks this is a reasonable deal. PAYG, can top up online, and varied amounts from €10 - €35 could be bought.
3 sounds good, but we spend time in France, not Italy, wish they would add that to their list and I would get that....

Outlay of 99.9 Euros
which gives a connection which lasts 45 days.
During that 45 days you can be online for 5 hrs max with a 50mb max useage per day. (not a lot?)
After the 45 days you can have the Add ons as shown which last for 10 to 90 days at the prices shown. Not much useage though-10 to 200 mb per day.
Not cheap for someone in France for 3 weeks a year say. (Unless you can sell on the dongle??)
My interpretation anyway

Thanks,. that's sort of what I understood, except I didn't realise it was a per day usage...but for emails it might be OK... as it is a first offering it may improve..
I was assuming that I could keep the dongle until our next visit and use it then again with a new payg card....would that not be the case

Had another look- I don't see why not. Also it depends what is meanty by "45 days"- If it's a total 45 day useage, and you've only used it for say, 30, you could go back and use it for another 15 days on the original package without top ups.
Best for quite regular visits really?

I know from my mobile phone sim card, that it means 45 days....or 90 days whichever top up you buy...and it is lost as is the number....
It needs someone with more french knowledge - able to ask the right questions really....like if you go back to UK and then return next year, can you just buy a new top up card and off you go again.... as before
