Guess it depends what you use them for. I rarely use my dongle and when I do it's usually a little bit of light web browsing or e-mail. I don't use it for anything like downloading stuff (especially when I have unlimited 20Mbit broadband at home!).
I also have 1GB a month allowance on my mobile which I do use every day (although again just for web browsing and e-mail), this also generally lasts me well.
I suppose that some people might use their 3G dongles for lots of different things.

It beats me why someone introduced limits at all - > the US don't have them!I wonder if some of it is down to the stupid amounts of money the mobile networks paid for 3G licenses. I certainly don't know of any providers that provide true unlimited mobile broadband. I guess maybe it's because it's even more contended than ADSL/Cable/etc as in that if a whole load of people heavily use the connection for Youtube, iPlayer, P2P etc then others may get a pretty lousy service.
