Im leaving verizon and really considering coming to boost. Any Pros and cons you guys think I should be aware of? How is your data connection? Do they throttle you after a certain amount?
 
Boost is on Sprint's network. Just make sure you test out the data speeds in your area. 3G is very inconsistent and poor in some areas. Check the 4G coverage in your area.

Data gets throttled after 2.5 gigs and it is on the sprint network so it is already slow. In rural areas data speeds are really slow. Having said that though. I am now only paying 40 bucks a month and I don't need super fast data speed.
I like Boost, I don't like getting throttled but hey you get what you pay for lol

Lame. I find it so frustrating carriers get to advertise "Unlimited data" when this is in practice. I need my data. I have wifi at home but when im out Id prefer to not to have to worry about another restriction. Thanks for the info.
 
I live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and the Boost (Sprint) service is great but when we went to Nags Head NC on vacation it was very spotty. The house we stayed in I got about two bars but just down the street, nothing.

Like others find out about the service where you use it the most. The plans start at $55 but go to $40 after one year. Not a bad deal if you get the service you need.
