Virgin Mobile Broadband 2 Go

As a recent Mac convert, I wanted to move my Virgin Broadband 2 Go USB 3G modem to my new MacBook, and after endless runarounds from Virgin and two weeks worth of emails, was finally told that the modem is not supported in Snow Leopard. In theory, I can make it work in BootCamp (have not tried this yet) but if you're considering buying one, don't. If you've found a workaround other than using it in Windows, I'd love to hear it. For the record, trying to get service from Virgin is slightly more unpleasant than plunging long rusty steel needles deep into your eyeballs.
