There is something funky about Boost. I have the same exact use areas with my Boost as i did with my Sprint phone. I find that i now have questionable service in some of my areas when i had a great signal with Sprint. This is by no means a reasonable observation because i used a Touch Pro 2 with Sprint and i have a S2 now and while the S2 is much easier to modify and tinker with imho HTCs are much better phones. So the observed differences may be a service difference between Sprint and Boost or between the S2 and the HTC... I have never roamed so roaming does not add into my observation.
I have asked/posed this before but it is a unanswerable question...i wonder if Sprint gives cell tower priority to those who are post-paid Sprint as opposed to pre-paid Sprint (
i.e. VM/BM). We know our data runs though a proxy server no reason they can't limit load access to the towers... Periodically, i can't get a 3g connection but a perfect 4g WiMax connection... Who knows. For the most part everything works fine when it does and when it doesn't...it doesn't.
