Default Point me to a better deal

Three have extended their deal of 5gb £7.50 per month (18 months) until the end of August. This deal really sounds good, but just before I go and buy it.. Is this the best mobile broadband deal to be had at the moment?

3 deal

Whats the deal with these dongles, main time I need mobile internet access is when I go on my boat.

The Marina has wireless (unlimited) for £10 a month but I might only be there for 6days.

I leave my laptop/pc on 24/7 and use it mainly for forums, email and monitoring our internet sales activities, is there a limit and would I exceed them on these sort of browsing?

You would have to be downloading music and movies to go over your limit. Just browsing and forum use you would be pushed to use half a gig in a month let alone 5.

Only if you pay EXTRA. Vodafone do a Spanish version. But it is NOT cheap. It also has to be software updated to work with Vista. Been there for our friends.
