You're right, Orange just updated, now 59p/MB for data roaming in Europe. Better than 4 pounds, but still not exactly cheap...
and their "bundle" or extra is still 5 pound for 4 MB!

Thanks for the advice, after reading countless blogs and forums about what to get for my trip, decided on the Piranha option Piranha Mobile At first thought it was not working right as every time I logged in to view my usage it was making the calls and texts. But seemed to hardly make a dent in the balance. I contacted them to check and was told that that is correct, what a surprise . I also setup the VoIP as we were staying in a free Wi-Fi hotel and that worked a treat and overall what I thought was going to be an arm and a leg after reading so many blogs worked out to be a really good deal.

truphone rates are out of market, not only now but since last year.

Outside of Europe, truphone and especially Maxroam are very expensive. So, unless their EU rates are very competitive, I do not see most EU folks considering them at all. Maxroam is a no no for non Eu travelers.

has alditalk announced new reduced data rates or data bundles?

not yet, but their internet price in EU is already about one half of the max. allowed cap - so they might not feel the need to change it...

there will be much competion from now on, so if alditalk won't introduce new or reduced data roaming packages they won't be the cheapets anymore!
for example europasim now offers 100mb per day for just 2euro...

You mean Vondafone Italy

Europasim isn't an (virtual) operator. I'm not sure if it is even a registered company. It is just some German guy trying to make a large profit from selling probably illegally registered (faked codice fiscale) Vodafone Italy sim cards by hiding their name whilst selling.

Now after looking into this a little, I can't seem to find the €2 for 100MB offer on Vodafone Italy's website. Maybe tux can give some clarification on this?

That offer was deleted after September 2011. Now it's 2,5€/day for 50MB.

@Effendi: isn't it an option in addition to the currently-existing Vodafone Mobile Internet Passport? It wouldn't make sense deleting that offer for another which requires other options.
