Virgin Mobile has finally released an official statment regarding their own USB broadband modem which had its picture leaked a few days ago.

The great thing about Virgin Mobile’s offering is that there is no contract commitment whatsoever. Plans are as follows:

10-days and 100 MB - $10
30-days and 250 MB - $20
30-days and 600MB - $40
30-days and 1GB - $60

And the Broadband2go USB dongle itself will cost $150.

So, you won’t be able to just stack up band with as other than the 10-day plan it will all run out at the end of the month. But oh well, at least you don’t have to sign your life away to a 2-year contract, right?

Virgin says the modem will be currently available only at Best Buy with only drivers for Windows XP and Vista having been announced at launch. What? No love for the Mac crowd?
