More about Virgin Mobile Broadband 3GB

Virgin Media are known for their fibre optic fixed line broadband, but they have also been recognised as one of the fastest mobile broadband providers in the UK. You may be wondering how this can be when other operators advertise speeds of up to 7.2Mbps.

The truth is that most mobile broadband contracts are sold on their theoretical maximum speeds, whilst in reality customers get a fraction of that speed. Virgin Media, on the other hand, are honest about the 3Mbps download speed of their mobile broadband and surveys show that customers of Virgin Media actually achieve this consistent connection speed more frequently than with rival services.

Good news if you want to use mobile broadband in place of a land line broadband connection or if you need a fast speed when you're out in the field. This deal of course includes a free Virgin Mobile USB dongle which lets you connect to the 3G networks and start surfing the web.

The dongle will plug directly into any spare USB port on your PC without fuss and get you on-line with minimal set up, so you don't need to be a rocket scientist to start enjoying mobile broadband. Now, to the specifics of the 3GB data allowance.

3GB is difficult to quantify as each internet user will use data in a different way, but if you head to the Virgin Media site you can use their data calculator to sort out how much data allowance you'll need and pick one of their packages accordingly.

The main thing you need to know is that if you exceed the 3GB allowance you will be charged a tiny additional amount for every extra megabyte of data which you use. The good news is that once you're connected you can keep tabs on your data usage via the Virgin Media website, so you never need be caught out and you won't get your service cut off if you reach the limit.

Another great thing about this mobile broadband package is that for a small additional monthly fee you can insure the free USB modem against loss, theft or damage which renders it inoperable. Since it is so small and portable it can be easy to lose and if you do misplace it you won't be able to connect to your mobile broadband until you get a replacement.

If you take the optional insurance you won't incur any more charges, giving you peace of mind. This package also comes with a 28 day money back guarantee for additional protection.
