    Maybe I'm missing something but why would anyone choose the 500 MB Mobile Internet Add-on with Vodafone over the 1 GB ISP Promotion?

    They both cost €9.99 incl VAT

    Benefits of Vodafone Live APN over Vodafone ISP please??

    afaik the isp is not generally available or something like that or it's just a promotion. if you can get the isp one, do so because there are no benefits of live over isp and many of isp over live

    As Sam Vimes said 1 GB ISP is a Promotion so you should go with. I had both and have found isp a much better experience. Does't time out as much and looks like all the ports are open unlike the vodafone live which would not work with pop3 etc.

    Just changed over from live to isp myself and loving the freedom. Just two things in the defence of live though, firstly, they opened the IMAP ports recently (and POP at the same time I presume?) which was a big improvement for me. Also you can apparently use the live connection while roaming in certain countries without incurring extra charges, unlike the ISP connection, although i'd check this with vodafone.
