Boost Connect Getting Competitive

by on September 2, 2010

Quick post just before we shut down for the night. Walking around DickSmith at lunch today I couldn’t help but notice that Boost Mobile had sharpened their pencils and put forward a really competitive starter pack. Boost Connect is now offering a USB stick for $49 with 2GB of data that lasts for 20 days. Recharge packs then start at $10 for 360MB increasing to 7.2GB for $100 lasting for 60 days.

My prediction was that at some stage prepaid usb’s would be handed out the same way they hand out prepaid mobile sim cards. These now cost $2 in most stores.
