Virgin Mobile's New Broadband

MobileBroadcast-End of WiresJune is a hot time for Summer fun and for tech reveals.  Virgin Mobile is planning to offer a mobile broadband this June for around $150.00.  Yes, this does seem a bit pricey for broadband, but not if you consider that it is "unsubsidized" and will operate on VM’s EVDO network - that will wave out a signal that will be noticably stronger.

With options available for contract or pre-paid, there is a choice for anyone. At roughly $40/month, Postpaid maybe your best option for 5Gb, or for a price not yet determined, there is the 1Gb of data.  As far as the prepaid option, there is the $20 for 250Mb.  Virgin Mobile isn't offering the best pricing on the market at the moment for the new broadband, but it does offer convenience on a long trip.

The new Virgin Mobile Mobile Broadband maybe a better option for some, so stay posted for more information.
