I am wondering the same thing... especially if one uses 3G/4G data very rarely, it may be a better deal than ATT/Verizon. If you put $100 in, how much data do you get, and when does it expire?
with voice $100 gives you 1000 minutes and they last 1 year, and then if you add as little as $10, they unused minutes roll over. I wonder if the data plan does the same.

I'm wondering, as well. My particular interest is the relative quality of the Tmobile hotspot vs. the Virgin hotspot connectivity and usage.
It looks like the Tmobile plan is $10 for 100mb (7 days), $30 for 1gb and $50 for 3gb, these last two for 30 days. The Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go through Walmart is $10 for 100mb (10days), $20 for 1gb, and $40 for unlimited, the last two for 30 days. My understanding is that you have to buy the Virgin hotspot device through Walmart to get those prices.
Edit: fixed days of usage.

Virginmobile done away with unlimited and now has a 5 gb cap. You don't have to buy it from walmart to get the prices.

The 1GB for $20 option was initially available only through Walmart. Not sure if that has changed.
