    Pre-pay mobile midband does however. Meteor and Three both offer pre-pay services, which expire after either 1 day, 1 week or 1 month, depending on what you buy.

    how do they get away with that?

    It's not the same as pre-pay mobile phone usage. They define it as buying a certain amount of time, and pre-paying for it, not that you buy usage (like 5GB) and can use it till that's used up.

    It would be very handy if you could by it by usage, especially for those who don't do much. They know this though, and can make more money this way.

    O2 has far far wider 3G /HSDPA coverage than Meteor. Especially if you're travelling around the countryside a fair bit, as I am. The Meteor modem is impractical (for most people) at Edge speeds.
