Can't speak for broadband, but I'd assume that it is just like a payg voice account in the UK. I've used both an Amex for online topups and also bought topup cards at the newsagent.
Seem like pretty good deals for short term use here -

I've also bought phones from Carphone Warehouse, but the Tmobile shops seem to activate the phone rather than just handing you a box and telling you to figure it out.
