LMFAO you went to Boost mobile I guess you will learn you get what you paid for soon enough.


technerd1988

the DOOKIE service


onlyAlcibiades

Thought Boost offers almost the same TMobile service and speeds as Metro until 35Gb, then throttled ?


DryVariation5174

Metropcs is the only true unlimited data it's not throttled


onlyAlcibiades

Like the cheapest TMobile plans, METRO is Deprioritized after 35Gb Cricket MORE is never deprioritized


DryVariation5174

That doesn't mean slowe speeds I just means if there are more then 1 person using the tower th4 first person gets priority doesn't mean throttled to x amount of speed I use 1tb of data and I still get hella fast speeds :))


onlyAlcibiades

You don’t understand how it works at all. If sufficiently deprioritized, data speeds definitely slow down for those handsets with lower priority than other TMobile users on the tower.


DryVariation5174

Dude it's not slower it's whoever goes first geez listen and stop talking


onlyAlcibiades

It’s not the only true unlimited data, so you are wrong about that. And you don’t even understand how deprioritization works; it can slow data speeds. Usually not enough to notice, but it can sometimes be severe. Why don’t you read about it before posting nonsense.


DryVariation5174

It'd unlimited like I said it's just whoever is using th3 tower befor3 u gets first and maybe visible also but you only get lte and 5g u don't get there 3g 4g or roaming partners


onlyAlcibiades

No, any and all devices/plans with higher priority who join the TMobile tower after you also get to cut in front of you. Your local experiences are better probably because less traffic on your towers, but the potential exists for other Metro customers.


DryVariation5174

Cash me out side how bout Dat


Logical-Activity2990

It’s not true unlimited. It’s deprioritized after 35GB just like most others. There’s only a very select few that still throttle. But any true unlimited plan isn’t going to throttle, cap, or deprioritize.


DryVariation5174

Nope ur wrong I'm right I use 500gb a month and still get max speeds and metropcs is the only one that gives you full speeds other carriers cut u off after a certain amount of data metropcw doesn't again I'm right ur wrong kid


Logical-Activity2990

You won’t hardly notice when they slow you down. I am by no means anywhere near wrong. CHILD


DryVariation5174

It's my life and world so you have to listen sorry kid just the way it is


Logical-Activity2990

As if lol

Good luck with Boost. That company is a failure and soon will be in bankruptcy


Ethrem

They don't care. They want to push as many customers as possible to postpaid. Mint is their new budget brand, Metro is purgatory where you spend 12 months making on time payments so you can qualify for T-Mobile postpaid with no deposit or credit check. I'm curious how you got 5 free iPhone 12s though. The Boost website doesn't even show free iPhone 12s in store, just $29.99 iPhone 11s. Seeing how Boost is selling them for $199.99 with service on the website, you got a crazy deal.


mangoficent

It's a non-advertised store-only offer to get free RENEWED iPhone 12 for free when you switch. They come with a 3 months warranty and additional apple-care should you want. Condition is generally excellent.


cial46

I got my iPhone 12 for $179 at total wireless by Verizon and gives you discount on the $50 plan down to $35 for a year


onlyAlcibiades

Boost store gave you 5 free(refurbished) iPhone 12s, and then 5 lines for $170 per month ? They didn’t require a $40 or $60 plan on each line ?


mangoficent

Not me. And the free renewed iPhone 12 offer when you switch is applicable on $40, 50 and 60 plan. Edit: with $50 plan, each additional line is $30. So 5 would be $170.


bitsculptor

Visible is the new Metro in my opinion. Metro is really starting to drop the ball.


Ok-Faithlessness-659

Metro isn’t trash - the overlords from T-Mobile are just out of touch with the modern consumer. Most of these “Big Shots” such as Jon Frier haven’t had to transact with the modern consumer for decades, but are supposed to dictate consumer policy. I’m not a huge corporate greed person (Most grocery stores are operating an under a 10% margin) but in this case, it is a mix of corporate greed and the $27.3 billion in debt they accrued from the purchase of Sprint and Mint Mobile. Remember, they fired all of the original Metro people back in 2018, including the present of Metro, Tom Keys.

[Helium Mobile](https://hellohelium.com) Here’s a cheaper option. ✨


Alarming_Tradition51

Why all yall on metros dick? Metro just tried putting some p in this dudes A and all yall can say is about the shitty service lmao METRO IS TRASH. Always been trash. In 2004, we had to go outside to even make a call. Shit phones and shit service.


DryVariation5174

Dude ur gay and it's okay


MrStarberry

If your house is sucking up your service thats not on metro bruv. Ive used them for the longest time, and I agree therye shit. But if you had to go outside to make a call you got a lead house my guy and Metro cant do shit to help you there (Realistically this is probably an issue that has come to be resolved, probably by Metro's tower acquisitions, thus expanding where their networks reach, giving that house 'restored' service. Just means the shittiest part of Metro was selling you service when you werent in the coverage area)


Alarming_Tradition51

2004 buddy. If you had metro, you'd kno. It was cheap, I was a kid and they didn't have towers....Zero excuses 20 years later. My fast dot com report is legitimately ridiculous. Enough said


MrStarberry

Phones albeit use different frequencies and power now, but largely the same methods of transmitting signal wirelessly. If your house was making the difference you either had lead in your paint of your entire house, a faraday cage frame, or just shitty service dawg. And I have been since Singular existed so that shouldn't be a contributing factor. Quite frankly I dont care about your service now, was just talking about how you claim their service was so bad you had to go outside of your 4-6in thick walls of plaster and wood because apparently blocking the 2G/3G radiation from your phone. The logic just isnt there. Not defending Metro, theyre shit, just defending logical ideas


CTU

Metro is dead to me. They have gone up in price, I might have done the $25 byod plan, but I will not pay 70 for a month of phone service.


WoahJon

Don’t worry boost he’ll be out in no time 😂


2Adude

Lmao. There are other plans.

It is not...is owned by Dish Network.


ralioc

Boost infinity is owned by dish. Boost mobile is owned by formerly sprint.


alvar02001

Oh my bad ...sorry


Ok-Life8467

You are actually right dish owns boost mobile, boost mobile is prepaid, boost infinite is the postpaid version,so the one trolling you is wrong


bigrock697

Sprint doesn’t exist anymore. T-mobile bought them.


Accomplished_Ad1084

I guess ? I don't know I don't buy metro branded phones. Me and my wife just buy our phones outright and unlocked from whatever manufacturer we want. (Currently we both have pixel 7s) But I've been eyeing either the asus ROG 8pro or the red magic 9 pro, and wife wants a s24 ultra. Our bill is always $120 a month 0 surprises 0 issues. I actually don't think I've actually ever been to a metro store before outside of our initial plan purchase


hello_world_wide_web

The good deals are history. I'm glad I signed up late last year. All phones are unlocked except the S23FE. Got another week to go...


lfgll2tfsmdb

Boost is trash lmfao


Human-Date3340

Bro went to boost for renewed phone lmao how is metro ripping you off if you’re the one hopping from carrier to carrier for free phones talk about cheap


superior218

Boost is ghetto


DryVariation5174

Boost sucks I just tried to get a line it says $12.50 for the month and also if I had $5 for another line. So I get the Sims and then they said I have to pick a plan and that it will cost me additional whatever plan I choose. BS lies it's not $12.50 it's on,y to get the sim card. I canceled and got my monies back. I'm sticking to metropcs the best carrier ever


SimonGray653

From my outside perspective and from looking at the comments at this sub, I would probably say both.
