Data-only sim-card for a 1-week stay in Hungary

Data-only sim-card for a 1-week stay in Hungary - Person Holding White Stylus

Preparing for my trip to Sziget, I was wondering what the cheapest prepaid data sim cards would be Hungary has to offer. I checked the Prepaid Data Sim Wikia and was planning on buying Magyar Telekom's Domino Quick starter pack with 1290HUF (~4 euro) credit on it to get the Netplusz L data package for 1GB, which should be sufficient for a week. Or might there be a better deal out there I could make use of?

On a side note, we would be coming from Belgium, driving through Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Austria. So unless someone could offer a better alternative that could be used in all countries, we would just wait and get the Hungarian sim card.

Which Sim is best in Budapest?

Within the capital and other large cities, Telekom and Telenor both have good service. Vodafone has the least coverage of the three main carriers, and while I've used it on past visits to Budapest, I now go for Telenor due to better coverage and value.
