Have been a customer of theirs for about five weeks now, as I purchased a PAYG dongle containing 3GB of data for 30 days at a cost of £15.
They have now just changed the rules and yesterday we mugs were informed that, from Feb.1st 2011, the amount of data is being reduced from 3 to 2 GB for the same cost!
They claim that 90% of their customers only ever use or need 2GB of data and so the rest of us, the 10% who require 3GB, will suffer accordingly.
What a disappointment this is as I was getting on well with this service but it seems that again, the big faceless corporates couldn' care a fig about its customers.
Time to move on, I think, unless they have a rethink.

The only choice we have is to be mugged or not bother at all.
I am one of the lucky ones who have a non-expiry Vodafone PAYG dongle however I am sure it is only a matter of time before they change the T&C stating it’s what the customer what’s.
but i must confess the actual connection and set up is a lot easier than the O2 dongles..has anyone any gripes with Vodafone service??
No - like SkipTracer above, I have one of the dongles on the old £15/1GB no expiry price plan. It suits me great as a light user of mobile broadband, and I've never had a single problem with the service. 3G coverage isn't quite as extensive as 3, but the network's just so much more reliable when you do get a signal.
I have a lot of sympathy for that statement.
I can remember when you could get 4 blackjacks, 4 fruit salads or 4 shrimps for one penny (the old variety 240=£1. Decimalisation came along and suddenly it was still 4 for a penny .... only prob was that this new penny was worth 2.5 old pence ... they made them bigger but maybe only by 25%, so more or less doubled their gross straight away.
I doubt it was different in other markets.
