    O2 are prolly the best following by vodafone.. avoid THREE ! There terrible, since O2 are cheaper and have a bigger cap than vodafone i would definately go with them. Hope this helps!

    Whichever way you go, you'll be locked into a contract. Also, you'll have to fork out some dosh for the modem they'll send you out. I don't know the prices of the various operators, so you'll have to read up on the terms yourself.

    Good luck!

    Three do offer a PAYG package, which would make sense for an occasional user. However, you should avoid Three as it generally doesn't work. You also have to buy the modem, which I think is about 100euro.

    20 a month for O2 would be the best, though a bit of a waste for occasional use, unless you're here for several days a month and really need an Internet connection. Modem is 29euro with them.
