In theory, Boost Infinite will one day use Dish’s own 5G network, which it’s still building and testing under the Project Genesis brand. Until that materializes, it uses AT&T’s and T-Mobile’s networks to provide coverage. When Dish started promoting the Boost Infinite brand last summer, it made some references to “web 3.0 trends” and the ability to turn “unused data into a real digital currency.”
Thankfully, none of that nonsense is mentioned on Boost’s website or the Amazon product page, so hopefully that’s just a distant memory of hot crypto summers past. In the meantime, $25 is a pretty good deal if you’re looking for an inexpensive, basic wireless plan. Boost says that this price is locked in as long as you keep your service active, which is nice, but never underestimate a wireless carrier’s ability to dream up new ways to charge you money.
