Virgin Wireless Broadband Shaped?

maybe... the best I've gotten is pretty much this:

This is on a $1 sim, with 300MB of included data. (using Sierra Wireless Apex 880 USB modem) Not bad, possibly shaped. I wonder what the speeds are like if I subscribe to their service? I wonder. The same? maybe... faster? maybe. I won't be finding out either way. I'm just not using mobile broadband enough to justify the expense (yet)

really cheap 3G wireless

after reading a little info on whingepool recently, i took the plunge. I bought five packs of the 2-SIM virgin deal for $2/pack and walked away with 3GB of 3G data for $10. No obligations, no catch... done. Tried one in my iPhone and tethered to my macbook. killerrrrrrr. Have ordered an actual 3G USB Modem from ebay... c'mon dowwwwwwn!
