I have the 02 E220 modem and it's €25 a month with a download limit  
of 7.5GB. I think that the modem cost about €35 initally but as I  
understand if you loose/break your modem you have to pay over €200  
for a new one. If you don't get the new one you will still get charged  
for the service untill your contract is up.

Beforehand I had a pay as you go three modem which was €100 initally  
and I had to buy credit for it - similar to a mobile phone. I got rid  
of that one because it worked only on 3G, where as vodafone works on  
3G and GPRS, and 02 works on GPRS, EDGE and 3G.

The edge inbetween stage makes a big difference if you are in a non 3G  
area.
