Our recommendations
- Avoid deals with a monthly allowance of 1Gb or less, unless you're a very light Internet user.
- Many deals offer a 15Gb monthly allowance which should be more than adequate, although you you may be able to find a deal with an unlimited allowance for the same price.
- If you want to download large numbers of files, or are an online gamer, go for a larger download limit - or better still a unlimited deal.
