Root [Virgin Mobile] NDC questions

[FatalIll]

I'm currently using MK5 Knox-free bootloader & modem on my Samsung Galaxy S3 running CM11 4.4.4.
Is it worth it to upgrade to NDC bootloader & modem?
Is there a Knox free NDC?

From what I've read (I'm also still using the MK5 on a rooted S3), the only advantage is the ability to run Touchwiz KK Roms. I don't think a Knox-free NDC is available yet.

I've read too many bad things about 4G reception going down and since I only get 1 bar of 4G at my house I'm avoiding this update.

I get great 4g in new Orleans on ndc. And who cares about Knox. It makes no difference to my phone.

It's been a hit and miss for myself. I had mk5 and my lte was pretty bad. I flash ndc and tried it for a while and it worked great in some areas (in dallas btw) but nd8 worked well in areas where ndc didn't. I've been having to switch to nd8 when i leave dallas.

Same here New Orleans has the best 4G ever

My wife's phone has the ND8 modem and my phone has the NDC modem installed.

In side by side LTE speed testing sometimes her's is a little faster and sometimes mine is a little faster.

Have not seen a time where one would connect via LTE and the other one not.

YMMV
