Was going to get the T-mobile web and walk thing but found out that it is only meant to be for browsing from your mobile phone, using it for connecting to a laptop will result in reduced speed.

From T-mobile
"To ensure a high quality of service for all our customers, they are not to be used for other activities such as (but not limited to): modem access for computers, internet based video/audio streaming services, peer to peer file sharing, internet based video download and internet based telephony. If such use is detected, notice may be given, after which network protection controls may be applied which will result in a reduced speed of transmission."

They have a business users version of web and walk, says "unlimited" but actually capped at 2GB per month, using a 3G card for £17 a month.

Hope the info is of some use!
