They have plenty of capacity, as long as you're in an area where signal is strong enough to CA n66+n70, and network traffic is low enough that deprioritization wouldn't be noticeable. This July 4th it did seem like they actually had subs on the network, as speeds did drop a bit vs. basically unloaded, but 100+ Mbps at a fireworks show on 55 MHz of downlink is still not hugely loaded (VZW was much faster as few people use them here I think). I think I'll stick with $25 Infinite for now, and should either do the mini games for the year of free service or drop my Project Genesis line since now with eSIM I have all four networks available on my S24 (including AT&T and TMo roaming on Infinite). Of note, the roaming above works in-network, so if I network select I really do have a triple-network SIM. And hotspot works even though I guess it's not supposed to.

The options to ignore GCI/NCI/PLMN/TAC are buggy.. working on resolving it. NSA cells are probably not being logged for most users yet.

Boost Mobile – the Newest Wireless Carrier – Launches New State-of-the-Art Nationwide 5G Network, Plans and Branding https://about.dish.com/2024-07-17-Boost-Mobile-the-Newest-Wireless-Carrier-Launches-New-State-of-the-Art-Nationwide-5G-Network,-Plans-and-Branding I'm really digging the relaunch of the brand. The new app is a lot better than before in that it actually feels like they're going a more premium route. The BoostOne app tried to gamify wireless service by making you want videos or download games in order to get discounts on your bill. Now it's decluttered and basically only account management. It's perfect. I was on a promotional $25/month unlimited plan on Boost Mobile and I just switched to the new $25 forever plan which is pretty much the same as before, the only exception being that now I'm price locked. The only thing I wish they'd do is start using QCIs instead of throttling once you use up your allotment of "premium data". I understand that they don't have as much capacity as the big 3 and that they're super reliant on AT&T and T-Mobile outside of major metros but hitting 30GB and being throttled to 512kbps is not competitive. They then try to charge $30 for an extra 10GB of high speed data. The big 3 and their prepaid brands have basically given up on hard throttling and use prioritization instead. They should consider doing the same. The next step for them is getting their name on Apple's websites this fall when the new iPhones drop. That's some of the best advertising a carrier can have. Instantly millions of people will learn that Boost Mobile is an actual carrier if they can pull that off.
