This is a bit of a niche deal but may be useful for anyone going to certain countries this year on holiday. PC World and Currys have the Huawei E5573 (4G) for £19.99 (half price). You can then take up the rolling monthly contact (I think the minimum is 2 months but I might be wrong) So total cost for 2 months is £66. If you time it correctly you will get 20GB for the first week abroad and 20GB for the second week.
Feel At Home, let's you use your in-plan allowances
I've just set it up and got 19Meg download speeds.
The Feel at Home countries are
Australia Macau
Austria New Zealand
Denmark Norway
Finland Republic of Ireland
France Spain
Hong Kong Sri Lanka
Indonesia Switzerland
Israel Sweden
Italy USA
If you use it for countries not on the list you will get a very hefty bill
I imagine that once you have cancelled after 2 months that it will become a PAYG dongle.

I tried this last October in New York and got a screen that says Feel At Home can't be used to tether and to insert the SIM into a handset or 3G/4G tablet. Have the rules changed?

I'm with three and they stopped tethering abroad a couple of years ago. The dongle however is a data only package so tethering I not applicable - hopefully:)

I reckon the 12GB sims from Three @ £23 are a better option for most people (given that most people average around 500MB of data use per month)

You can enjoy Feel At Home whether you’re on Pay Monthly or Pay As You Go, using a tablet, phone, Mobile Wi-Fi or dongle. On all our Pay Monthly plans, except Three Essential plans, you’ll automatically use your monthly unit allowance and Add-on unit allowance to call and text the UK and use data, and if you’re on Pay As You Go you'll need to convert your Pay As You Go credit into an Add-on to get an unit allowance to fully enjoy Feel At Home.
If you joined Three from 12 July 2016 on one of our new Essential plans, as these don’t include Feel At Home, the below information doesn’t apply to you. Any usage in these destinations will be charged at the roaming rates set out in our Essential plans price guide.
There's a 5% off code kicking about somewhere. (Or maybe it's TCB/Quidco).

The problem here is that to get the PAYG 4G Mifi costs £60. The 1 month contact costs £60 including the data and mifi.

I was going to get one until I realised it was Three and they don't cover Portugal.

When I was in the US earlier this year on a Three sim, it's didn't work on 4G. As part of the 'terms' it was only 3G.
In a smart phone, that was one hell of a bottleneck and the data got clogged up quite often, pages didn't open, email stopped working.
Ok, it's a free add on, but was more frustrating having it than not.

I'm on Life Mobile and thus never have 4G access. Never been a problem. I can stream iPlayer, watch YouTube videos etc.
I would therefore be inclined to blame the US network you were on rather than 3G itself.

i used a payg 3 sim with FaH addon in France last year. While I was able to get basic 2/3g access which was fine for social media the speeds were very poor and coverage patchy - certainly not up to the job of streaming. I've also used it more recently in southern Ireland, again speed and coverage was patchy. If you google on the topic you will read about lots of unhappy customers who feel duped by Three. Their partner networks in other countries appear to be very slow so if you are expecting the same performance as at home you may be disappointed.

I'm in the roi alot and never had a problem. Force your phone to connect to 02 if your not getting a three signal.
