I have the £4 bundle on my Orange ED50 phone, which I find works nicely
for occasional use (and includes ssh traffic which would be £3/MB if I
had no bundle. For the times I need to hammer it, there's the Orange PAYG
SIM. I find this combination gives me a pretty reasonable deal without
having to pay for loads of data if I don't need it, but the flexibility to
get good data rates when I do need it.

Of course if I needed to hammer it every day I'd get a WnW Plus (or
whatever they call it) connection for data usage. Currently though, that's
more expensive than my current setup for my needs.
