Virgin Mobile USA is launching a new pay-as-you-go mobile broadband service called Broadband2Go.

The service, which uses Sprint's EV-DO Rev. A network, will not require a monthly subscription nor will it require an activation fee. To use the service, people need to buy a Novatel USB broadband modem that costs about $149 from Best Buy.

The device and service will be available in late June, the company said. The service is sold in megabyte and gigabyte packages. For $10 a month users can get 100 MB of data usage. For $20 they can get 250 MB of data, and for $60 they get 600 MB. The most expensive pack costs $60 and provides 1GB of data usage. These buckets of data usage are available for 30 days before they expire.
