Good Pricing

They have a smaller footprint than other companies but the $40 a month for unlimited mobile broadband seems like a pretty fair trade off. Also I wonder if this will force other companies (at&t, verizon, sprint...) to lower their prices. Thoughts?

I doubt it'll have any influence on other companies pricing.
MetroPCS & Cricket offer unlimited talk & text for like what $45/mo? Those companies !!STILL!! don't seem to have any influence on ATT/Verizon. I wish they would! These wireless bills are very, very expensive! I don't make much, I have to choose between home internet, cable tv, and wireless, so I choose wireless.

It's amazing! As bad as this deep recession is, you'd think more, and more people would be flocking to the cheaper wireless companies like Metro, Cricket, and Tmo. But people don't seem to be.

As far as Virgin is concerned, I'm not sure why anyone would pay more. VMU is connected through the same high-speed service as Sprint, and it gives you more for $20 less than ANY other carrier. With sprint owning VMU and boost, they make it hard for themselves, especially when consumers can get all of the same phones on either carrier... whats a little more out of the pocket in the beginning to save hundreds of dollars in the end!
