Anyone here using Boost around the metro Detroit area?

[RodgerBrooks]

What can anyone tell me about coverage with Boost around the metro Detroit area?

I'm looking at several prepaid plans, phones and carriers... looking to see who has good coverage in my area.

I know Boost uses Sprints network but I don't know how good that is in the Detroit suburbs since nobody I know has Sprint, Boost or Virgin.

So Boost coverage... good fair or poor?

Thanks in advance!

I don't talk on the phone much, but have never had a dropped call or choppy calls in the last 4 months I've had the phone.

For data I'm connected to wifi 95% of the time, but occasionally use 3g to search things when at stores and what not. I've brought up YouTube videos within 15 seconds on 12 & Groesbeck, and then waited over a minute for something like BestBuy.com to come up in other places. Something like Slacker Radio/Pandora could play songs on 3g, but maybe a 10-20 second delay in between songs sometimes.

I've never used data on any other network to compare. A friend has MetroPCS and I think he said he needs WiFi to use Pandora. Overall it works for me as I don't use 3g much, maybe just to look up a review while shopping.

I use my Samsung Replenish out in Chesterfield, New Baltimore area. I get full bars over 3G most of the time and this includes Indoors too. When I'm down in the city, I have full bars as well. I haven't had any connection problems or anything yet, maybe a few YouTube videos load slow, but I usually clear the cache and they run smooth afterwards.
