Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks

There really isn't a decent solution to get affordable data rates in all of europe. In various countries you can get good rates with local networks, but then you need an extra SIM for each country. Vodafone offers some kind of packages with included traffic thats good in all vodafone networks. It's still quite expensive though (around 5€/mb).
