Translation help badly needed.

USB Internet dongle in Italy: Can someone who reads Italian help me with this page and its links?

I'm looking for internet access from my laptop in Italy next month. There is a Vodafone shop in the airport, where I plan to purchase the dongle described on this page.

With my limited Italian and the help of Google translator, I understand that this offers the dongle for 75 Euro which includes 25 Euro of internet usage. What I can't figure out is how much traffic that will purchase in terms of email and light surfing. I'm unable navigate the site to find this info. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My Italian is a bit rusty, but I think you're looking for this page. It says after activating it's worth 25 days of internet access with a maximum of 500MB of traffic per day, each additional MB will cost you 1 Euro.

If I understood it correctly the whole thing is a special promotion, as the site says you have to activate the stick until September 15th, so the plan might change. Given the insanely low price I wouldn't be surprised about that. The 3,6 Mbps stick only costs 49 Euro btw, so if you aren't in big cities with high speed 3g all the time this should suffice.

Sorry, first paragraph should say "each additional 50 MB will cost you 1 Euro."

And if the special promotion is over when you get there, the usual rates are here. It's 15 euros/month for an unlimited number of hours at night (10 pm to 7 am); 10/month for an hour a day; 25/month for 5 hours a day; and 5/day for unlimited use.
