Review: Virgin Mobile MiFi 2200 and $40 unlimited 3G Broadband2Go plan {Gadling}
Sep 4th 2010 9:53PM Great review, your speedtest.net results are helpful.
One thing to be aware of, this service has been throttled down by Sprint.

Those are typical results on Sprint's regular network. I've conversed with other people on several other forums while researching this product. The folks I've talked to that have both modems are all reporting that Virgin's service is exactly 1/2 speed as the Sprint modem in the same location. Those of you looking for full speed 3g from Sprint are going to be disappointed. Apperently Sprint has decided >600 mbps is enough for most people on this service, so there is a trade off being made for the unlimited data and lower price.
Big company, small town: JB Hunt, Lowell, Arkansas {BloggingStocks}
Jun 29th 2008 3:44PM Daisy, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I have been with J.B. Hunt for ten years as a driver, and I make a nice average middle class living at it. Just the other day I met a co worker that hired on the same week I did, almost ten years ago. He has been single and unattached for the last ten years. He told me in the last ten years he's been able to put over a quarter of a million dollars in the bank.
I like working here. Once you've been around a few years, the corporate people in Lowell act like they are the ones working for you. The safety culture is top-notch. They want safe drivers, and aren't hesitant about getting rid of drivers who don't meet their standards.
Mr. Hunt, who I've never met, was a business genius. Trucking companies are shutting the doors because of the fuel prices. Jevic inc just shut their doors, with over 2,000 power units they were a big company to fall. Back in the 80's Mr. Hunt had the vision of buying intermodal trailer units to get his freight on the railroad instead of competing with them. This move made our company economically solid today. While other trucking companies are bleeding cash, our rail division is carrying us through this bad period. I know I'm at the right place working here.
