The main thing is to check the coverage in your area, or the area it's more likely to be used in. Price is important, but IMO coverage even more so.
I'm not sure what '3' are like now but they had big holes in their network when they first started up.
 
apparetly they now have a deal going with some other networks and use their transmitters too. coverage is sposed to be good.
the package were looking at is £15 a month.
we maybe getting ourselves a studio. maybe. so email checking n stuff would be usefull, mobile.maybe some uploading too.
maybe more cost effective than installing broadband there.
 
I've got a Vodafone 3G data card in my laptop, works extremely well, and I've only had a couple of times when I've not got a 1.8Mb 3G connection, when in the middle of nowhere - although my company does pays for it :)

These things are coming down all the time now though so get the best deal you can.

Whereas my Vodaphone 3G has only picked up 3G once in all the places, so is very slow. So check the areas.
 
I use the 3g on my phone when working away and it works fine... That said i am nearly alway in large towns/cities so you would expect to get a decent reception!

I would check for limitations on bandwidth, i know some of the offers limit you to 1gb download per month. It all depends on your estimated usage i guess...
 
I seem to remember the '3' packages are:

£10/mth = 1Gb
£15/mth = 3Gb
£25/mth = 7Gb

Or something similar
