Virgin Mobile Canada Broadband2Go

Posted on December 11th, 2009RobC

On December 3, 2009, Virgin Mobile Canada released their Broadband2Go  internet stick data storage unit that lets surfers control their costs and pay for web access only when they need it.  Attractively priced at $149 CAN the unit delivers fast speeds on the largest 3G network, and it’s free to use in every Starbucks in Canada. Broadband2Go is available at Virgin Mobile stores and Future Shop (and online).

Activation is  easy at virginmobile.ca. It’s here web surfers can manage their service going forward by topping up only when they need it, right from a credit card, or they can set up automatic payments so they’re always good to go.  To kick off the launch, Virgin Mobile’s special intro offer gives new users their first month (or 1GB) at no charge if you activate online. After that, top-ups are just $45 for 1GB or for 1 month of use, whichever comes first.

Also worth mentioning, if you get a separate microSD™ card, the stick doubles as a flash drive with microSD reader for up to 8 GB of extra portable memory.

Want to get one for free? Join the Virgin Mobile Canada on Facebook fan page, or follow them on Twitter @virginmobilecan. Readers should keep your eyes open here and look for opportunities – there are going to be some giveaways in the weeks ahead of Christmas.
