    Virgin Mobile USAs unlimited 3G data services include 2.5GB of full speed data.Once the 2.5GB of data is reached, your data speeds may be reduced to256kbps or below for the rest of that monthly cycle. During this time, you mayexperience slower page loads and file downloads, and lags in streaming media.Data speeds will return to normal as soon as your next plan month starts.

    Beyond Talk plans have no cap or limit per se on how much you can consume inany given month before you get charged overage fees. Most Beyond Talkcustomers will not experience a change in the performance of their Virgin Mobile

    service or notice any difference. If you use this service for typical email,internet surfing and downloading, your throughput speeds should not benoticeably impacted. For Beyond Talk subscribers who are using more than2.5GB during a monthly plan cycle, limiting throughput speeds for the remainderof their monthly plan cycle enables us to preserve overall network performanceand customer experience.
