As we have said before wifi is pretty much essential for us on our travels. It allows us to access teaching materials, blog and manage the trip. However getting access is an absolute pain. The worst country so far has been France. The oldest mobile operator there Orange has a virtual monopoly in rural areas. So we went for an Orange "Domino" 3G wifi router. However the coverage was terrible. Also the data expired after 7 days even though the shop told us it was valid for a month. As a visitor on a prepaid plan you have virtually no come back when you have problems. So my advice is avoid Orange at all costs!
On a positive note the company "three" in the UK has a good deal on prepaid sims for £15 with 1 GB of data. Crucially it allows you to use the phone as a hotspot for the laptop.
Why there is no Europe wide sim/wireless Internet available is beyond me. It seems like a gap in the market.
