    currently you can get the USB modem from 3 and use their service for EUR20 / month ( check their site for 3G coverage, you will not be able to to use the 2G service ).

    you can also get the USB Modem from Vodafone, and the service is EUR40 / month, check their site for coverage. 2G ~ 50kbps/50kbps , 3G ~ 360kbps/360kbps , 3G+ (HSDPA) ~ 1.7mbps/360kbps on Vodafone mostly, and 3.6mbps/360kbps on 3. Vodafone are supposed to be upgrading there services to 3.6mbps since earlier this year, ive no idea how far along that is.

    Also, from July9th O2 will have their 3.6mbps/360kbps HSDPA service launched with the same USB Modem as the others. Pricing etc isnt definite yet, but its likely to be between the 3 and Vodafone prices
