Switching back to Boost... worth it?

[bg1287]

I used to have Boost for a very long time... from 2010 to late 2013. they didn't have 4G in this area then. I switched to At&t prepaid when they had a pretty sweet deal for 4G LTE service and the Galaxy Express. The service is still excellent. But I'd kind of like to get more for my money. 2.5 GB of data, then once I go past that my data plan is turned off...

Would it be worth it to switch back to Boost? With all their different plans. Especially considering I could get the 60 dollar a month plan with double the amount of data I get from At&t for the same price, and I could still use my data if I went past that.

Would it be worth it service-wise? My galaxy express works every where. literally pretty much everywhere. With boost there is certain places you go into where you have no service. namely my break room at work. idk why there. that and 3G video steaming. yikes.

Does Boost have 4G there now? They've been expanding the network, so it might be worth checking your coverage if someone at your work has a 4G Boost phone.

It says they do have 4G LTE all around this area. I just don't get why their service doesn't work in the weirdest places like my work. Yet every other service does. Nobody I know has boost, but they have sprint and still say its not that good.

It's cause sprint runs on high frequency bands that don't do well with building penetration. T mobile suffers from the same problem.

That would make lots of sense. That's the only real gripe I have about Sprints network honestly. Where their service did work it worked really good for me.

I've asked several people that have/have had T-Mobile and Sprint and they all said T-Mobile was far better and they get service places where Sprint doesn't, including my work.

Boost 4G LTE works great in the Chicago area. I would have left them if I was stuck with 3G only by now. It's pretty bad lol.

In Seattle area, I found it to be very inconsistent. Even with full 4G bars, data speeds can be unusable slow. It's not always that bad, but it is often enough to where I don't count on my phone for more than phone calls, txts, and email.
