About Boost Mobile

Boost Mobile, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, is owned by EchoStar Corporation following its acquisition from DISH Network. The carrier serves approximately 7.4 million prepaid subscribers across the United States.

Boost Mobile originally operated on the Sprint network and was divested to DISH Network as a condition of the T-Mobile and Sprint merger. The company now operates primarily on AT&T's network while EchoStar builds its own 5G Open RAN network.

Boost offers affordable prepaid wireless plans with no credit checks, no contracts, and no annual fees, targeting budget-conscious consumers who want reliable mobile service without postpaid commitments.

Boost Mobile Speed Test FAQ

How fast is Boost Mobile?

Boost Mobile delivers speeds up to 300 Mbps on 5G and 4G LTE networks. Actual speeds depend on your location, network congestion, and device capability. 5G speeds are available in areas with 5G coverage and require a compatible device. As a prepaid carrier, Boost customers may experience deprioritization during peak network traffic compared to postpaid subscribers on the same network. Run a speed test to measure your current Boost Mobile connection performance.

What network does Boost Mobile use?

Boost Mobile primarily operates on AT&T's nationwide 4G LTE and 5G network following its transition from T-Mobile's network. EchoStar, Boost's parent company, is also building its own 5G Open RAN network that will eventually provide additional coverage. The AT&T network gives Boost subscribers access to extensive nationwide coverage. Network quality depends on AT&T tower density in your specific location. Check the Boost Mobile coverage map on their website to verify signal strength in your area.

How do I test my Boost Mobile speed?

Use the speed test tool on this page to measure your Boost Mobile download speed, upload speed, and ping latency. Ensure you have strong signal strength and close background applications consuming data before testing. For the most accurate results, test in an area with good coverage and minimize the distance between your phone and the nearest cell tower. Test at different times of day to see how network congestion affects your speeds during peak and off-peak hours.

Does Boost Mobile throttle data?

Boost Mobile plans include a set amount of full-speed data before potential deprioritization. The Unlimited plan includes 35GB at full speed, and the Unlimited Premium plan includes 50GB. After exceeding these thresholds, data may be slowed during periods of network congestion. The 5GB plan switches to lower speeds after the data allowance is used. Boost does not charge overage fees. Hotspot data on the Premium plan is capped at 30GB per month before reduced speeds apply.
