better i found to buy one here in Turkey,130 lira for dongle then 39 lira a month, allthough last year they dropped it to 29 lira a month, in the summer. i have found that it can be more reliabe than internet line connection out here as lots of people,s conection seems to go down a lot out here, turkcell shops are the ones to go to,they all stock them, just make sure you buy one that is compatible to your laptop i:e if you have windows 7 make sure the dongle is for windows 7 and not just up to vista, hope this helps.

If you can pick up a signal to a wireless internet connection when you come out, it may be worth asking neighbours - many people in Turkey "share" an internet connection - one person has it installed & the cost is shared by other neighbouring users - a password is needed for access. It's like using your laptop in a bar/cafe using WIFI, but from the comfort of your home - usually a cheaper option all round.

but then back to the point, cheaper all round but poor line connection, power cuts in turkey, use your laptop with dongle and your battery life

I wish I can get something like 50Mb Fiber optics connection, then I would be able to work from Turkey and earn the same amount of money as I do here!!

Just back from Fethiye and tried my unlocked Dongle with a Turkcell Sim card but it would not work:(.
Had to buy Turkcell Dongle with 4GB for 140tl.Once it was connected it worked very well.
From now on I can buy sim cards for 1 week duration at 12tl each.

A small update on my Dongle experience - I bought a Vodaphone one, have had no problems with it, but tried a friends Turkcell one in my laptop and it gave a far greater speed, also the monthly PAYG costs are identical but V/phone only give 1GB whereas T/Cell give 4GB download usage.

I was told in Azda (Hisaronu) last week that the cost of a Turkcell Dongle was 79TL + 19TL for the sim card + 39TL for 4GB 1 month allowance.
they had a special offer on where you get the sim free therefore pay 118TL for the first month.
Top ups were 12TL for 1GB 1 week, 39TL for 4GB 1 month and I think there was one for about 24TL for 1 GB 1 month.

I'm not having as much success as usual with my Turkcell dongle. It can take well over half an hour to get logged on.Seems to be slower too.

Is there anyone who could give me a rough current price for a Dongle package and whether to go to Avea or Turkcell, the one I hired has to go back tomorrow and I feel it is time to buy one,I do not want to get ripped off as I am on my own I dont want to be an easy target, but if I go in the shop armed with some info this should be less likely to happen :)many thanks to anyone who can help me.
