As far as i can tell that deal vanished from their website a few months
ago, currently it says £15 buys 3Gb for 30 days.  which is awful.

the Three voice payg sim seems a better deal, 150Mb of data free (valid
for 90 days) with every top up, then £5 buys you 1Gb for 30 days.

i currently use a t-mobile payg data only sim in my dongle, which is £2
per day, £7 per week, or £15 per month.
