update - Three have apparently launched a promo, offering existing account holders half price on any of their data bundles for the duration of the contract (so eg. 1GB/month for £5 instead of £10, on a 24 month contract).

Existing customers can now get all 3's mobile Internet packages half-price for the duration of the contract, making it the cheapest provider by a country mile. This deal's so good that if you're due to upgrade your mobile soon and you want 3g broadband too it may well be worth joining 3 simply to take advantage of it. The offer's only available in-store, and is apparently limited, so go soon if you want to get involved.

still has the killer benefit of the data bundle including use on all of 3's own network, (i.e. Austria, Australia, Denmark,
Italy, Ireland, Hong Kong, & Sweden) - as before though, you must be sure you're on 3's network when roaming - if you go out of coverage and onto a roaming partner, you start to rack up the crazy roaming data charges.
[EDIT] while I remember, heres a link to the 3 Italia coverage map (a more useful one, with Italian places marked on it, unlike the one that Libero linked to above) ... it's a búgger to find - I could never track it down on the tre Italia site, but just found it via the UK site ...
3 - Coverage
the map is clickable to zoom in for greater detail (only by 2 levels, i.e. you can't keep zooming right in to a point of your choice - unfortunately for me as I appear to be right on the boundary of their coverage, grrr - but it's pretty detailed at max zoom)
