Vodafone UK are beginning to offer a USB mobile broadband modem capable of accessing the network’s 7.2Mbps HSUPA connection, with both Mac and PC compatibility and upload rates of up to 1.44Mbps.
Currently only available in its 7.2Mbps form in Central London and UK airports, the HSUPA service is priced from £25 ($49) a month (with 18 and 24 month contracts available) and the modem itself is the smallest yet from the carrier.
With the cheapest contract, the Stick is priced at £49 ($97); opt for a 24-month plan and Vodafone will give you three months line-rental free.

Fancy £30k bills each month? Or being able to download only half an email before you go bankrupt?

That guy was using his phone as a Modem and not a specific Mobile Broadband Tariff.
You can get Mobile Broadband for £25 per month subject to a 3GB Fair Usage policy.
