Question by ShinyBlue: What is the simplest and cheapest way of getting mobile broadband on my laptop while on holiday in the UK?
Going on holiday for a couple fo weeks. Would like to link to internet, wihout using dial up. How can I best get moble broadband for a fortnight? I don’t need it beyond that. Wondering about a PAYG or shortterm deal, or linking with a mobile. Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks

Depends on the coverage available in the area you are visiting
you can check coverage and find out prices here

both T mobile and O2 have a £2 a day option, £7 for a week or £15 for a month – T mobile DOES NOT charge if you accidentally go over the limit – O2 DOES charge and it can be very expensive.
If you read the user reviews, you get the impression that all service providers are utter rubbish, unreliable and overpriced….
