Best Buy isn't out on a mountain top screaming about its mobile wireless broadband service, but with a couple of mouse clicks, you can uncover a fair amount of details about its Best Buy Connect program.
Rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach, Best Buy Connect comes in a variety of plans, including no contract options and both 1-year and 2-year pricing models. Without a contract, Best Buy will sell you up to 250MB for $30, while all three plans offer up to 500MB for $40 and 5GB for $60. Both service agreements are tied to subsidies on new laptops, with the longer you commit, the more you'll save upfront -- up to $275 off of any compatible laptops when you agree to a 2-year plan.
From what we've uncovered, you'll also be able to log in to your account and monitor your monthly data usage. And to help prevent you from wracking up a ginormous bill filled with overage charges, Best Buy says it will email customers when they get near their monthly allotment.
