Vodaphone sims are albeit slighly more expensive but not time limited which makes them less expensive overall for the light user.
3G dongles also have the benefit you pay for data not time.

BT Fon etc
I note the comment about BT exhorbitant charges for WiFi access.
However, if you are a BT Internet subscriber in the UK, you can 'opt in' to the Fon network from the BT homepage (or via your BT Router).
This then gives you unlimited UK access to FON and BT Openzone hotspots aa well as FON hotspots across europe. You can search http://www.btfon.com/ for a list of hotspots.

I use wifi all over the place in marinas. However I have free (joke) time in MDL marinas 'cos I'm an MDL bertholder (which should more than pay for the wifi). I also have a BTOpenzone account for my work. Since I use a laptop for nav I have it with me anyway (actually three laptops in case of failure).
Usually I find it works from down below with no external attenna, though in St Kat's I had to do my email with the laptop on top of thesprayhood to get a signal.
