If you're in cork city and plan to mostly use it in built up areas get Meteor's dongle. I've used both and meteor are FAR faster. I hit a consistent 3 to 5mbit/s when I use it vs barely 1 mbit/s on 3.

Their dongle is very cheap and the software works instantly on Windows or Mac OS X.

€20 top up per month covers everything. Caps are adequate for normal browsing etc, wireless access isn't really suitable for heavy downloading. Try DSL or cable for that!
