Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go $40 Prepaid Unlimited Data Launched

VirginUnlimitedBroadband2Go.JPGNow, Virgin Mobile's  Broadband2Go offers a new $40 unlimited mobile broadband plan. Available tomorrow online the plan includes access unlimited internet use at home or on-the-go for $40 per month.

 The $10 option for 100 MB, good for 10 days from purchase, remains for less frequent internet users. Other broadband plans have been eliminated.

A recent study from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that the self-employed and independent workers represent approximately 30% of the nation's workforce. The study determined that this segment of the self-employed population, consisting mainly of small business owners and freelancers, represents a large market of consumers who need to stay connected, mainly with email and internet browsing, without the constraints of a contract.2

"Many unlimited broadband offerings require a contract or are on networks with limited range, so they don't meet the need for flexibility or true mobility," said Neil Lindsay, chief marketing officer, Virgin Mobile USA. "The introduction of Virgin Mobile's prepaid unlimited broadband for $40 a month will provide the access you need on a nationwide network without a contract."
