No actually I don't. But I am in Nederland, Texas near Beaumont and we are only 100 miles from Houston. So I think thats why it came up . Maybe they activated the towers for the DISH wireless in those areas. They weren't listed the last time I ran a speed test.

Probably Boost Mobile network, weren't they going to rename Boost to Dish Witeless?

I don't think so. When Dish acquired Boost they had to switch networks from Sprint/T-Mobile to AT&T, but I use Boost and haven't seen any re-branding.

Here in San Diego, I found one listed in Las Vegas. I would love to support Dish and get internet and cell service. I am waiting to see how it does.

I can highly recommend the Boost $100 per YEAR plan. I'm on it and it works great. The app is very nice and you can reduce your next bill by playing games and watching videos.

I've already knocked $4 off next October's annual bill and I'm close to knocking another $2 off:
