AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around dissatisfaction with the Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go package, highlighting extremely slow connection speeds of around 15kb/s. Users express frustration over inconsistent performance, noting that while some may experience better speeds, others face significant issues. Comparisons are made to a previous experience with a Sprint broadband card, where speeds were similarly low due to problems with the connected tower. Despite some users receiving compensation in the form of equipment upgrades, the overall sentiment is negative regarding the reliability and speed of Virgin Mobile's service. The consensus is that the service does not meet expectations and is not recommended.

Don't buy the Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go package. Right now I'm getting a connection speed of 15kb/s with it.

You do realize that speed depends on the connection which can vary due to a large number of scenarios. Just because you aren't getting a high speed does not mean someone else will not get a higher speed.

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
