Hi all,

Im arriving in Milan on Friday and need to get fast wireless Internet access for my computer as soon as possible.

Im not sure if my best option is to buy a 3G sim for my usb modem or to depend on the wireless hotspots around town (if there are any)

I am a fairly heavy user and would be looking for at least 10 to 20 gigs of data per month. Are there any cell phone shops (that would speak english preferably) that I should approach first? and what are the prices like ?

And are prepay options available ? Im not sure as an Irish citizen they would give me the contract option

any help on this is great

thanks folks

Hotspots aren't so many, and, yes, the prepaid option is the most used.
No idea which of the 4 main mobile operators has the best deals... Wind has a reputation of being cheap..
