Virgin Mobile - Broadband2Go (USA)
Here's the Deal!:
Broadband2Go runs on Sprint's national EVDO Rev A network and gives Mac users & Windows XP or Vista PCs download speeds around a megabit. Unlike other national systems that sell monthly bucket plans and charge for overage, Virgin Mobile will sell chunks of megabytes on prepaid cards, like a prepaid phone top-up system. Virgin offers one modem, the Novatel MC760, a small USB device and a MiFi device; the Novatel 2200.
In essence you can surf the web with Unlimited data for $50 per month. You can use the MIFI 2200 and share the 3G data connection with up to 5 devices simultaneously.
Virgin offers two data plans for use on your data account:
$10 for 100MB: Valid 10 days
$50 for Unlimited: Valid 30 days
If you don't use the network for awhile, you don't pay anything. If you go over your limit, your Web browser will be redirected to a page asking you to buy more megabytes—you won't be automatically charged overage.
"Prepaid mobile broadband is ideal for students, families on the go, Road trips, RV, freelancers, anyone who needs wireless Internet access…and wants to pay only when they use it. Its also perfect for conference use as the speed is superb and the plan is pay as you go.
There's no credit check and no subscription involved. Since this is a prepaid, top-up-based system, customers can even buy additional megabytes online here at mrsimcard.
The system uses Novatel connection management software that includes a usage meter, so you can tell how close you are to your limit. A Web-based account portal also gives clear details of how much time and data you have left.
