Hi all,

I'm considering Cricket, but I'm trying to find out information on the difference between the Cricket 3G network and other carriers (such as Sprint/Virgin/Boost).

Basically, I'm having trouble finding a straight answer on how my web browsing experience might be different on Cricket vs. the other guys.

Does Cricket throttle your bandwidith? Do they ban certain sites and/or not allow certain types data use? If web use is important to me, should I look elsewhere besides Cricket?

Thanks for any info. Like I said, I've tried to find the answers to my questions, but haven't had good luck, even after talking to local dealers, reading these forums, and on the Interwebz.

Thanks!
 
A phone on cricket with the normal "mobile web" access can have access to EVDO Rev A but is capped around 200kbit a second through a wap proxy (not to be mistaken with kilobytes). You can unofficially add the "HTML Data" addon for $15 and have access to cricket's broadband 3G speeRAB and in some markets avoid having to use the proxy.
