are you sure you want to go to Virgin? they are terrible if you want to use them for anything related to internet.

As for your main question yes the Virgin sim card will work

Yes. My S3 mini was locked to EE and worked with Orange, T-Mobile and Virgin

Oh puh-lease. They are fine for the Internet. I stream music in the car most days and it works great.

yes until you reach their "unlimited" limit of 3.5GB and your speeds are slowed down to a crawl.

Which:

A) I've never yet reached, and B) Would still be more than enough to stream Spotify at their highest available bitrate. Hardly 'slowed to a crawl', is it?

Not sure if that is still the case. So far this month I have used 5GB and iam still getting between 10 and 11 meg.

yes it is.

when you reach the limit of 3.5GB (unlimited) your speed will be slowed to a crawl.

I didn't mention whether or not you reached that limit or if you stream on spotify on their highest bitrate.

Whats hard to understand about that?

I've noticed that a number of people have been reporting this recently (last month) as well. And i've also noticed people still reporting they're being speed capped. weird.

No difficulty in understanding at this end, Zee. Your response of 'until.. your speeds are slowed down to a crawl' in reply to me saying that Virgin are fine for Internet as I stream music in the car most days, implies that this would not work fine after their speed cap, when clearly it would.
