I have the Pay monthly version (£7.50 for 5Gb) and it';s OK, just no fallback to GPRS when you lose 3G coverage and not as fast as T-Mob.

I thought use on GPRS had been introduced recently? I got a couple of these and in central London and Edinburgh both picked up as HSDPA, and in fact using the USB cable/antennae actually did seem to improve reception. Biggest problem with speed seems to be DNS resolution, rather than pure download speed.
