Ok, to start of let me mention the fact that I've been on virtually EVERY contract company out there.
Sprint, HORRIBLE RECEPTION in my area!
Verizon, was good for two years. Upgraded to two droids. Then it started. For two smartphones, two basic phones and a mifi, the bill was $500-$600!!
Decided our last contestant would be AT&T.
Of course we Werent going to come in with three lines right away, we decided I would try it for two months then decide if we were going to boost mobile.
First month was AWESOME!
Second month was OK.
This is the third month and it's EHH.
First of all, rIght now we have three iPhone 4s's on our family plan.
1. Data speeds went from GREAT to EH.
2. I go over my data usage by 15mbs, I get billed $10 for an extra gb one day before my billing cycle ended!
3. Today my data usage skyrocketed! I turned off my att's data the night before because, I noticed i had used up data for two days in advance. I turn it on for two minutes to check Facebook and my usage rockets from 2,406 MBs to 2,523 MBs!!
Anyone have a solution to this!?
I'm always connected to wifi, but I was away from home at the moment...

Boost uses Sprint's towers. Bet that won't work either.

We had Sprint four years ago, we've moved to a whole different state since then.

I had Sprint for almost seven years. Their service is worst now then it was 4 years ago. I wouldnt waste my money with their service.
I barely use 400MB's a month and I have an iphone. But I do not have push notification on for anything. Maybe thats part of your problem. I also use wifi when at home
