Virgin Mobile Drops Unlimited Data Plan for 5GB Throttled Plan

Say goodnight, the party is over.  Many people jumped over to the Broadband2Go data cards since they offered unlimited data on the 3G CDMA network for $40 a month instead of the normal $59.99 with a 5GB cap.  The changes take effect on February 15th, and Virgin claims most customers that use the BB2Go plan for  "internet surfing and reasonable downloading will likely not be impacted/notice any difference,"


Right...because data throttling has never caused customers a headache.  The only upside to the BB2Go plans if you're only drastically slowed down on speed after 5GB, as opposed to running up excessive overage charges that'll give you a stroke on your next bill.
