TORONTO – Streaming and sharing just got a little cheekier with the introduction of Home Internet by Virgin Mobile Canada. It's Internet the Virgin way. Launching today, it will offer a generation of social networkers, movie fans and music lovers awesome upload speeds, super-fast download speeds, and epic usage to satisfy their insatiable appetites for Internet.

Home Internet by Virgin Mobile is available right now to eligible Ontarians with two simple plans: 300 GB for $50/month or unlimited for $65/month. Both plans have no activation fee, no long term contract and no hidden fees. With download speeds of up to 25 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 10 Mbps, it will be love at first megabyte.

"At Virgin, we're in the experience business, and only Virgin Mobile Canada can put the VIP into your IP", said Sir Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group.
