@snidely:
I used standard delivery; they always use DHL, even for the standard method. I ordered the sim on Sunday 6th afternoon, they shipped my sim on Monday and I got the sim this morning.
The billing works in this way: after you register the sim, every 14 days they generate a bill which you pay with your debit/credit card or with PayPal (I use PayPal), but only if you surfed the web. You are debited per kB.
After you have put the sim into the internet key (and have configured the dashboard for the internet key), you just open the browser and you are automatically redirected to an abroadband page where you have to put your invoice number, your details and the payment method.
They are obliged to advise you when you reach 60€ of traffic because of the European legislation. I don't know if they block internet for the remaining days of billing, but I think they do.

By the way, I've just tried a Skype-to-Skype call of about 2 minutes between 2 PCs, and I've been debited 0.66€ (1.05MB). The quality of the voice is quite perfect

Here in Italy they use Vodafone, and where I live Vodafone has an average speed of about 3Mbps in download and 1.50Mbps in upload. Navigation, so, is quite fast. But this depends on the traffic on the BTS you are connected. The ping is about 130ms, but i didn't notice a significant delay in voice calls.

IMHO this is a good service
