I'm not sure about this theory as a conscious decision by the tower or just a mater of physics. I have tried it and experienced better data speed during a peak time of day where very early in the morning I didn't need the booster. So I dunno. I have no cell tower experience(if someone is please educate us), just passing on what I recently heard.
Anyway, It's all fun.

We see the exact same performance in Moab......the cabin is far from towers....we can get on very early in the morning and many times that's it for the entire day, even with boosters going. I would like to know more about this if anyone here is in the cell business.
I working smack in the middle of Qualcomm-ville in San Diego and commute by train....I suppose I could just start asking people how this all works while I'm waiting for the train.....
