1. if you bought it PAYG it would have been on o2 and therefore locked to o2. to use any other network will require jailbreaking which (as a moderately intelligent chap) i'm sure you're capable of, but if you get it wrong you have a paperweight on your hands.
2. tmobile are damn good and when they say unlimited they mean it. the 1Gb is fair useage only and (since you are in london) they have no coverage issues - at least none of the ones they have down here in the SW.
3. 3? no. never. piggyback networks usually arent worth it.
4. tesco? dont make me laugh. in the very fine print they mention that they dont support streamed data on the network (means no Youtube or similar). also see above re: piggyback networks.
5. Virgin - deals are excellent but see above re: piggyback networks.
