I'll have a look for you, but you'll never find anything like that for £10 per month...

Aside from the Giffgaff 9GB for £18 (as of 8/23/17) offer, Plusnet (who use EE) are offering 5GB data for £10 per month, which is about as much as you'll get for that budget.

Just found a link for you here, regarding SIM only deals:

http://www.techradar.com/news/sim-only-deals

Basically, 3UK for all higher end plans, except for the Vodafone 20GB deal (after cashback), and if you are as active on all forums as you are this one, Giffgaff for the lower end, because once you throw in Community Payback then the SIM will be virtually free.

No worries, hope I've been able to help :)

Unless you know you need more than 9GB per month, Giffgaff is your best bet (because with Community contributions, it will lower the price of the goodybag) - above 9GB and Three UK is your best bet, unless you want to get the Vodafone offer with cashback. (Plus, I don't know if they are still doing this or not, but Vodafone used to throw in Spotify Premium for a while.)

3UK do offer unlimited data, and are the only network that offers truly AYCE data (Giffgaff's £20 goodybag severely drops in speed after 6GB usage), but the best bet would be to monitor exactly how much data you are using, then go from there. As it is highly unlikely you'll go over 30GB, which Three also offer a plan on, which is cheaper than the AYCE option.

I could go up to £40 per month if I really have to... :o

For £40 per month, you are better off actually getting some sort of fixed home broadband, such as the likes of BT or Sky (or even Talktalk), and watching your Youtube videos at home/university on the broadband system. You will be able to get the Three unlimited deal for just over £30 per month, but before committing yourself to this: when will you be using the SIM/data, what will you be doing with the data, is there Wi-Fi you can use? All universities will have Wi-Fi (albeit monitored Wi-Fi, though most monitoring systems will only filter out offensive/inappropriate stuff, like adult content, they will not filter forums like these). Most university accommodations will provide some sort of internet connection. Other wi-fi solutions may also be available.
