So long story short, I figured out a way to pretty much ensure I always have high speed data. Not sure if its a fuck up on Boost or what but I'm currently in a "peak" time and i'm not being limited. Keep in mind the speeds below are normal for me because of where I live.

Data Usage for this billing period:




Current Speed (via Laptop I have tethered too):




That speed might not mean shit to some of you but the only ISP(DSL) that services me, besides shitty satellite, charges $120 a month for 3Mbps. I'm paying $55 a month for no data cap at the same speed. I believe thats worthy of a brag lol.

Figured I'd share for those who might need a good way of beating the system.


PDANet+ is the tethering app I use. That data is solely whats going through my laptop. I also use my laptop as a hotspot soo there are like 4 other devices that are connected at the time of these screenshots and tests were done.

How did you even find this out?

, charges $120 a month for 3Mbps.

That's fucked up, they are trying to charge you $35 more than what I pay for fiber...

By needing internet on my laptop and getting pissed off at it always connecting to 3G when I knew it should be LTE. lol.

Oh I'm fully aware of the retarded pricing lol. I could move an hour away and pay $100 a month for 1Gbit lol.

So how did you do this? Is it a hack?

4.91Mbs? I read why your speeds are that low, so I'm not commenting to say that you hadn't breached the data throttle, but damn that sucks. When I was living with my parents years ago I remember going through the same thing of being in the suburbs and getting ridiculously low speeds despite having the fastest Internet package provided by xfinity.. moving to the city i average about 25mbps. Sometimes as low as 19mbps, sometimes as fast as 39mbps. Good shit though, glad you overcame their bs throttle limits.

No Hack. I am not 100% sure but it is related to Samsung Devices radio menu. I don't know if any other devices can do it. I've only tried Samsung Devices.

Its pretty simple. Just switch it to LTE only. Then it won't connect to 3G. Best results I've seen have been on Sprint phones brought to Boost.
