Do you have a WiFi access point within reach? Where it is available, it 
is very good, but could be expensive. Otherwise, if you have a mobile 
phone monthly contract, you could try to add a datacard to your 
contract. The best of these currently is T-Mobile, who charge £20 per 
month for their datacard (2Gb cap), provided you take a £30 per month 
mobile contract.
