How good is Virgin Mobile’s 3G mobile broadband coverage?

Virgin Mobile uses T-Mobile’s 3G mobile network which covers 85% of the UK, and offers mobile broadband speeds of up to 3.6Mb. They’ve also won lots of awards for the quality of their service and the dongle software they provide as part of the packages.  Whilst a bit dull, the dongle software can make a big difference to how you use the mobile broadband service by making it easier (or harder) to track how much data you have used.

Do Virgin Mobile offer pay as you go mobile broadband or long term contracts?

They offer two types of contracts, a 2 month short term contract, or a long term 18 month contract.  The different tariffs cover both 1GB and 3GB per month limits so it won’t be suitable for heavy users.
