Amazon.com Product Description Give your laptop wireless broadband connectivity wherever you roam with the Novatel Ovation MC760 Broadband2Go USB modem from Virgin Mobile--just plug this USB device into your laptop and connect to the internet from almost anywhere in the country. It features an advanced internal dual band antenna system that includes diversity for enhanced performance on network fringe areas, and it doubles as a flash drive with an integrated microSD reader (microSD card sold separately). The Broadband2Go modem also provides plug and play capability with automatic installation of software and device drivers built right into the device for both Windows and Mac users. With a Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go plan, activation is simple and megabytes can be added as often as needed with credit/debit cards or Virgin Mobile Top-Up cards--which can be used to purchase data usage from 100 MB to 1 GB. For example, a 250 MB Top-Up card for $20 (good for 30 days of use) translates roughly into 12 hours of web browsing. You can choose the plan that fits your needs the best, and without an annual contract, monthly subscription or activation fee (see more details on pricing below). Depending on your Broadband2Go Plan, megabytes will expire 10 days or 30 days after you buy them. Supporting the EV-DO Rev. A high-speed data standard, the Broadband2Go modem enables you to download and stream high-quality video, straight onto your phone. Where coverage is available, EV-DO Rev. A connectivity provides average download speeds ranging from 600 to 1400 Kbps, with peak rates up to 3.1 Mbps. And average uploads speeds are 350-500 Kbps, peaking at 1.8 Mbps. You'll receive coverage anywhere on Broadband2Go's nationwide network. That means you can connect to the Internet from almost anywhere you bring your laptop--your house, the library, the airport, your favorite pizza spot, even outdoors at the park. No need to search for a Wi-Fi hot spot or anything like that. Service is provided in more than 4,300 cities (including 480 airports) across the country. Key Features - Built-in usage meter lets you know how many megabytes you have left in your Broadband2Go Plan. Your Broadband2Go account page will automatically appear whenever you plug the USB device into your computer. Your megabyte balance will be displayed right on that page. You can also check your account anytime by logging into My Account.

Now has a $40 unlimited plan for Broadband for 30 days August 30, 2010 L. Koski (Spokane) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this modem for prepaid Broadband2Go for several months. The good news now is that they have revised the plan so that $40 gets you unlimited web for 30 days. This is a very good deal. Now on to how I've liked it: I had a little trouble with setup and had to call for support, and this was pretty hassle free and I did get set up with help pretty quickly. I wanted to use a AAA visa gift card to buy time online, but they wouldn't accept it. So now I just buy top up cards, which are easier to find now than they were a few months ago. Walmart and Best Buy are the places that for sure have them. After you top up, you're not done yet - you still have to buy the plan so don't let that confuse you. Now - I can always get on with at least 2-4 bars, but sometimes the connections don't go through when I'm surfing and I have to reload the page. I'm thinking a USB extension from the computer so that I can place the modem in a window might help. I haven't tried that yet though. If coverage was better, I'd have given it 5 stars. Coverage seems to be for major metro areas and along the interstates. There is no coverage in Montana at all and many areas of the western states at all. But - for wireless when traveling it works pretty good if you can't find a hot spot where there is coverage. Overall, I'm not unhappy with this modem. It's not super fast, but it beats the heck out of dialup and there is no contract. Buy time when you need it. You can't beat that.
Some tech support issues - you should read this if you have Vista August 21, 2010 skip 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I got this modem recently directly from Virgin. On my XP machine it installed fine, but could not connect to the virgin website ([...]). This website is either down or obsolete since I could never connect to it. After installation, it automatically directs you to this website. Anyway, since you can't connect to this website, you cannot purchase top up cards or get instructions. I had to get tech support to set this up and buy a top up card. After it was set up on the xp machine, I was able to connect to the internet. The connection seems stable, but the speed is slower than my home broadband. Often, the pages time out so the connection is likely not so great.
When I tried to install this on my xp machine, I got this error:
"Error 2738. Could not access VBScript run time for custom action."
Called tech support and he said that he could not help me with this since this is a computer problem and ended the call. Partly true, but I'm sure there are many others who would also encounter this as well and they really should have worked out a solution. This is a typical Vista related problem so most new Vista machines should have this problem as well. Anyway, I googled around and found a solution on the ITUNES website. The fix is simple, basically, enable Vbscript on the machine:
[...]
For Windows Vista or Windows 7:
1. In the Start menu, type cmd in the Start Search field.
2. Right-click on cmd in the list of search results and click Run as administrator in the pop-up menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue. (If you are not logged in as an administrator, you will need to authenticate with an administrator login and password.)
3. In the Command Prompt window, enter the following command:
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
4. Press Enter on the keyboard. A message should appear stating: "DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded."
Note: If you see a message with "error code 0x80004005", the command window was not opened as an administrator.
5. Click OK and try installing iTunes or QuickTime again.
Well, the last part, change to install Broadband2go software again and thats it!
I'm happy to have internet now, but tech support could've done their due diligence and be much more helpful. I don't know how the service is long term but so far it seems not bad. For those of you not tech savy, you probably would have either thrown this modem out the window or returned it.
