AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around dissatisfaction with the Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go package, highlighting extremely slow connection speeds of around 15kb/s.

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.
