Boost Mobile is ditching the MVNO label and stepping up with its own 5G network


Boost Mobile's 5G network is here to play ball with the big leagues.

In recent years, Boost Mobile has poured resources into creating its own network, now reaching over 70% of the U.S. population, with nationwide coverage made possible through roaming deals. This move sets the stage for the company to rival the leading wireless carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, positioning itself as the fourth-largest provider in the country. Impressively, it’s outperformed AT&T and Verizon, with Ookla’s study showing peak download speeds of up to 1 Gbps for iPhone 16 and Samsung Galaxy S24 users.
