What do you mean by "incredibly expensive"? When I looked at their price
list the other day, the worst package was £5 for 500 minutes (a month).

Which isn't very attractive compared with £5-10 for 1GB that you get from
mobile networks...

I use a 3G dongle by preference, but haven't found one as cheap as £5
for 1GB. Indeed, looking around just now they all appear to be £10 for
1GB, although you can get some deals at £20 for 3GB.

use it for as many minutes as you like, in a much wider
selection of places. The wifi option only wins if you're going to download
a lot or need a fast connection.

Wifi also wins where there isn't mobile coverage!
