I checked out T mobile as suggested and they offer me three Gig of download for £29 per month inside the U.K. via GPRS / 3G phone and modem. Now this is o.k. as a starting point ideally I want access in the Mediterranean too, but I dont want to seem too ungrateful, but I'm not sure what three Gigabytes is in REAL terms. They tell me I could must be totally crazy to use this in a month, but I don’t have idea, if I'm on live trading sited for eight hours in a day am I charged only whilst the site is coming up on screen or all the time I'm on it. Equally if I listen to internet radio e.g. BBC listen again or Live 365 am I using the allowance all the time I listen or only as the page is coming up. Sorry about my ignorance of these things but I could appreciate explanations on this, a friend who used an internet mobile conection through Vodaphone spent over £1000 in a month so I'm cautious before I comit to this path.

Basically the 3GB is the amount you may be able to download. So every bit of info you download goes towards this total.
If you're on a live trading site this happens every time the page is updated. Most pages average around 20Kb so that means you may be able to download about 150,000 pages per month.
Hope this helps.
