that it is going to start throttling
customers who exceed 2.5GB of
data in a given monthly billing
cycle starting March 23. Virgin
won't charge overage fees, but
users who go over the limit will
see data speeds slowed down to
256Kbps or less for the
remainder of the billing cycle.
Virgin says that fewer than 3%
of its customers will be affected
by this new policy. The throttling
plan was first announced in July
2011 with a target launch date
of October 2011. Virgin later
decided to delay its throttling
plan until 2012. The company
said, "this is the best way for
Virgin Mobile to maintain the
best network experience as data
usage explodes."
