Least expensive 4G broadband SIM?

    I'm looking to set up a 4G mobile broadband SIM as a backup to my DSL.

    Ideally pre-pay on the Vodafone network (directly or indirectly). Bill-pay ok if it's a decent contract and another network is fine if I can test the coverage.

    My understanding is that the biggest issue with using 4G broadband is the low data caps. Any recommendations for setting this up?

    i dont know how it works but you can get a dongle that has data on it as prepaid so you only pay for what you use and there is no time limit
