You might conclude so why bother with the 1 GB bundle, but the data SIMs can be found cheaper, sometimes on eBay or Amazon, or apparently just at the moment for £2.99 in Currys/PCWorld (in store only). The bundle is prepaid on there and activates on first use. Then it's cheaper to use another SIM next month ...
There used to be a referral way of getting the 1GB SIM for a net negative price, but this stopped a few months ago - which is probably why prices on eBay and Amazon are about treble what they were, so for now PC World looks like the place to go.
For you personally, if your likely use is still similar to when you started the thread, then Three's 321 looks the best option, given that a couple of interesting mvno brands (Ovivo and Samba) have closed down.
For other readers who want more data, Three also has a 3 GB for up to 3 months bundle, and these SIMs can be bought via eBay etc for about £20 (formerly about £7), or for now the 6 GB for 3 months bundle on EE can be found slightly cheaper.
