Re: Didn't think I'd like it..........but
They un-throttled their network back in Feb (I think all markets, if not then most markets). Tho they are still advertising up to 700kbps, on average in my market I get right around 1.5mbps, and up to 2 sometimes. Can't beat that, esp on 5gig for $40 or 10gig (soon to be 7.5gig) for $60, and with no contract and free card after rebate.

They cant really afford to do it more than once per customer. You could act as a new customer ...
Re: How many customers does Cricket have?
Metro PCS has approx 6.3 million customers. Cricket has a lil over 4.6 million.
Both companies had positive net adds for Q3 2009, but Cricket for the first time ever beat Metro in net adds and more than doubled them. They also beat Metro in Vegas and Philly, their shared markets.
Re: Just Wondering...
95% sure cricket will launch a BB in 2010
