Although many broadband users are greatly anticipating the upcoming new prepaid offers from Virgin Mobile, Verizon has got the edge over for those who travel frequently. What’s keeping attention away from Virgin is Verizon’s latest answer to broadband, the USB 1000. This thing is packed and handles just about every band you can think of,— CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A, GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band HSPA, Bon Jovi, you name it, the USB 1000 has it. The USB stick is set to be priced at $149.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. This isn’t bad, so long as you’re not located abroad, because those rates bite. The poisonous kind of bite. Plan A goes at $129.99 per month for 100MB of data and Plan B is at $219.99 per month for 200MB. Both are at $0.00 per KB and include 5GB of data in the U.S. and in Canada with a $0.05 surcharge on MB overage. And if this hurts too much, you can still opt for the standard plan at $60 per 5GB. Other global rates are:

• $0.002 per KB in Canada,
• $0.005 per KB in Mexico,
• $0.02 per KB for international roaming in over 175 other countries.

But here is the logic behind all this high pricing. Let’s imagine you’re traveling to and from Europe like 4-5 times a week. So if you can afford to travel that much, you may as well take the plan into your affordability. The USB 1000 is available online
