Boost's unlimited plan is not unlimited data anymore!

Sadly enough the service is so slow i (frankly) find it hard to believe anybody can even hit the 2.5g cap. I tether nearly every day (and i do pay for it) but rarely hit a gig of usage in a month. I have to say i am very disappointed with the data service. As i posted in another thread. I came from sprint and at a time both phones were active. The boost phone was much slower then the sprint phone even though (presumably) both phones were feeding though the same tower. I am just not sure if it is the phone or the service. The Epic 4 does not have a good radio in it and does spend a descent amount of time hunting for service where my old touch pro 2 had no issues. Definitely my last Samsung phone. On the other side, when i can get a 4g connection it is quite fast. Unfortunately, the 4g signal does not do well indoors so i have to be near a window to get it.

Once upon a time, I hit the cap... several times over. Boost wasn't very happy with me lol

I guess the throttle folder isn't doing it for them any more and now they need Virgin's style of a data cap.

Agreed. Sucks very much. I'm actually considering metro pcs. I'm not sure if they tether, but at least they offer 4g LTE.

If you go with Metro don't EVER go outside the service area. I had Metro for roughly 6 months and I couldn't even go 5 miles outside a Metro area without losing service. That is the ONLY reason I'm back with Boost

I was thinking of changing carrier also but definitely not to metro! I was thinking about strait talk. Has anyone ever tried strait talk?

Your better off with boost unless the 10$ difference really matters to you. Straight Talk has an even lower data cap than boost and they really don't appreciate even moderate use. Any cdma android phone with straight talk uses the Sprint towers like us. So unless you get a gsm phone, you won't see a bit of difference and may be even worse off.

Ill look into it. Thanks
