Giff Gaff prices are going up and they have had some pretty prolonged service outages but it probably is the cheapest option still.

Edit

By the way £10 per month for 2 years is £240

Cheers, I hadn't noted that, the new deals look OK:

£10 goodybag (change) 250 UK Minutes Unlimited UK texts 1GB Mobile Internet (Tethering will be allowed)

or

£12 goodybag (new) 250 UK Minutes Unlimited UK texts Unlimited Mobile Internet (Tethering will not be allowed)

Not as brilliant as they were, but still not bad. The only outage I saw was the o2 outage - was there others?

EDIT: just spotted their earlier one caused by the burst water pipe. Interesting how they spin the outage, as 'too expensive to prevent': http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/giffgaff-outage-too-expensiv...
