There are also some attractive rates for casual users. For 24 hours' use you can stump up a mere £2 and get an allowance of up to 500MB. Weekly rates are £7.50 for 1GB of data and if you're game for a whole month of browsing you can shell out £15 and get a healthy 3GB allowance.
That's not as cheap as 3's, £10 a month, 3-pay deal, which clocks a similar 3.6Mbps, but that only comes with a 1GB allowance . 3's pre-pay dongle will also cost you more and O2 will throw in the sweetener of free Wi-Fi at those uniquitous The Cloud hotspots.
So, you pays your money yous makes your choice. O2's dongle is available now.
