More about Virgin Mobile Broadband 1GB

Virgin Mobile Broadband 1GB offers an alternative service for customers who are typically already familiar with the internet but need that additional level of freedom that cannot be provided by a standard landline connection.

Although many conventional broadband lines feature wi-fi access, which allows users to connect to their internet connection throughout the home, customers remain tied to a service that usually ends somewhere before the garden gate. Thus, mobile internet allows users to connect to the internet in a fast and reliable way almost anywhere in the country.

It is often the case that business people, students and those travelling away from home are left without an internet service. Free Wi-Fi is not available everywhere in the country and, where coverage is found, it is rarely secure enough to enjoy in confidence and connectivity is usually somewhat sluggish and unreliable.

Virgin Mobile Broadband 1GB, however, enables customers to connect to the internet virtually anywhere and at any time. Furthermore Virgin Mobile Broadband is very straightforward to connect to as the free USB modem – or dongle, as they are sometimes known – that is supplied with the package can be easily plugged in to a spare USB port on the laptop.

Moreover, setting up a mobile broadband connection is designed to be relatively free of hassle. Virgin Mobile Broadband 1GB provides a usage allowance of 1GB, which may not appear to be all that much but, at least so far as mobile internet is concerned, it is more than sufficient for the majority of users.

A 1GB monthly download limit would allow customers to send approximately 700 e-mails (that's around 22 each day), download 65 mp3 tracks (legally, of course), download two 30 minute streamed videos and browse online for some 30 hours.

All this is provided at speeds comparable if not faster than many home broadband connections in the UK. In fact, when compared to the basic 2Mb ADSL broadband connection supplied to many tens of thousands of homes in the country, the 4.5Mb download rate provided by Virgin Mobile Broadband 1GB represents more than double the speed.

In summary, the Virgin Mobile Broadband 1GB package provides an excellent entry level mobile internet service to those customers who are likely to use it frequently but not as heavily as they might a landline service.

The package's monthly usage limit is generous and the download and upload speeds are faster than many home connections. In short, Virgin Mobile Broadband 1GB represents excellent value for money and provides a fast and reliable mobile internet service.
