The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get Unlimited Premium?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“Hotspot, 50 GB, international bundle, and family discounts stack into a genuinely complete package.”
“Still 512 kbps after the cap. Boost calls it Premium but the throttle floor is identical to the $25 plan.”

Our review
Boost Mobile Unlimited Premium is the top of Boost's prepaid stack: 50 GB of high-speed data, mobile hotspot, and an international bundle that covers calls and texts to 220+ countries plus data roaming in Canada and Mexico.
At $60/mo for a single line ($55 with AutoPay), that's a steeper ask — but the feature list is meaningfully longer than the base Unlimited tier. Multi-line households get real savings: two lines drop to $100/mo total, three to $140/mo, four to $160/mo — all with AutoPay. The throttle after 50 GB still lands at 512 kbps, which is the same floor as the cheaper tiers.
Boost runs on AT&T and T-Mobile towers depending on your area, giving better domestic coverage than a single-network MVNO. Taxes and fees are not included in any of those numbers.
What we love
- 50 GB high-speed data is a solid cap for most heavy data months. Hotspot is included. Global Talk & Text covers 220+ international destinations. North America Connect adds data roaming in Canada and Mexico. Multi-line discounts stack — four lines come to $40/line/mo with AutoPay. Month-to-month, no annual contract. Dual-network (AT&T and T-Mobile) domestic coverage.
What we don't
- After 50 GB, speeds throttle to 512 kbps — the same punishing floor as the cheaper Boost tiers. Hotspot speed after the premium data cap is also throttled. Taxes and fees are not included. As an MVNO, Boost is deprioritized below host-network postpaid subscribers during congestion. At $60 single-line, there are postpaid options with better deprioritization rules.

How much data, talk, and text does Unlimited Premium include?
Unlimited talk and text. Data runs at LTE speeds for the first 50 GB per month. After 50 GB, speeds drop to 512 kbps for the rest of the billing cycle. Fifty gigabytes handles heavy streaming and commuting comfortably. The throttle floor is the same 512 kbps found on cheaper Boost tiers.
What is the network speed on Unlimited Premium?
LTE access for the first 50 GB each month. After 50 GB, the plan throttles to 512 kbps for the remainder of the cycle. Mobile hotspot is also subject to the same speed reduction once the 50 GB premium data cap is reached. 512 kbps is below usable streaming quality for video but will handle basic messaging and light browsing.
Does Unlimited Premium include mobile hotspot?
Mobile hotspot is included with Unlimited Premium. Hotspot runs at LTE speeds within the 50 GB premium data allowance. After the cap, hotspot speed also drops to 512 kbps along with all other data. No separate hotspot data bucket — hotspot data draws from the same 50 GB pool.
What happens if you exceed your data on Unlimited Premium?
No overage charges. After 50 GB, data continues at 512 kbps for the rest of the billing month. No additional fees are assessed. The cap resets each billing cycle.
Does Unlimited Premium require a contract?
Month-to-month. No annual contract. No early termination fee. Prepaid billing with AutoPay lowers the per-line rate by $5/mo. Billing is monthly.
