Was at a Walgreens near Coral Way.
Highest speed test so far on 4G!

I'm at more than 1GB of Data and still haven't been throttled. :)

That's great also, once its past 15mbps its more than enough IMO.
Haha your right, well to be exact it was on the Walgreens on 8450 Coral Way. :)
Always get great reception near 87th and Coral Way, if I would have been outside of that Walgreens I would have had full bars!

Just did a speed test at the McDonald's by fiu and not bad. I would have had a heart attack from all the bad food I eat if I didn't go to the gym lol. Good thing I'm in shape and have a killer metabolism.

Great speed test, that's were the numbers usually are.
McDonald's at this time isn't very good.
Btw no I didn't click on that banner, Rolf. :/

Was this serious? You know there's a ton a cholesterol, salt, and sugar in there right? You can still have a heart attack even if you do exercise and are thin. Don't get me wrong. I love McDonald's. Just don't think you are safe because you exercise :p.

Yeah I know but I know how to maintain it haha. I hate but love fast food. I have just been eating it a lot lately cause I've been so busy. The cholesterol and sodium is what really gets you lol. I knew this really skinny guy in high school who had dangerous body fat cause he thought just cause he was skinny he was fat proof lol. I was shocked he didn't have a heart attack.

I switched from Boost to MetroPCS.
What a difference, and I thought I was happy with my Boost service.
Coverage and Speed is great.
I went with the $60 Unlimited LTE (I'm stream most content)
So far it's great Google Play Music, Netflix, Podcasts I haven't noticed a lag yet.

Glad your enjoying your service with MetroPCS.

If I get throttled I will have to switch to the $60 unlimited plan. I was in the 4 for $100 plan, but when I activated my N5 I automatically got a message saying a change was made to your account and the bill now is $117. So they bumped me to the $40 plan.. I'm wondering if I can get them to put me back into the family plan.

They also have the $50 plan too, gives 2.5GB I believe.

    Yes indeed I meant WCDMA, but Thanks for pointing it out.
    Interesting, when I put WCDMA I get 3G but whenever I try to load a webpage it goes to H..

    Let me explain that :D

    3G - UMTS - original 3G up to like 7.2megs something like that. 99 of the time when using data you will be on H/H+ in the USA anyway

    H - HSPA = UP to 21mbps down

    H+ - HSPAP (something like that there's other variations for that one) 21mbps down or DC is 42mbps down which T-Mobile has

    Is there an activation fee?

    Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

    If you do it at the store it's 15$. If you do it over the phone it's free. It depends if you want to pay someone 15$ to call metro and read out your imei or if you want to do it yourself.

    Looks like the t-mobile work around doesn't work.

    Wow, these guys don't play, lol.

    as i said before you don't even need the workaround. just use a user agent switcher for your browser.
