Only a month after it launched, Virgin mobile broadband has announced that existing cable and ADSL broadband customers can sign up for a dongle contract for as little as a £5!

The new package is likely to tempt users who are hungry for connectivity on the go but at the same time trying to tighten their financial belts. The mobile broadband market currently sees the likes of 3, T-Mobile and Vodafone all going head to head on cut-price deals to both new and existing customers in an effort to grab a decent share of the market.

Customers already signed to Virgin’s top 2 packages, XL or L, can take advantage of the £5 offer, with all the other Virgin packages costing £10 a month for mobile broadband. Users signing a 12 month contract will get a 1GB bundled data allowance per month, though the USB 3G will cost £25.
Virgin Media’s managing director for mobile, Graeme Oxby, said -

‘Our 1GB mobile broadband is great for people who need fixed-line broadband but also want access to the internet on the move. This new bundle offers the safety net of considerably cheaper rates if customers go over their monthly data allowance.’
