Cell tower blacklisting on Android? - General Questions and Answers

I know people have asked about focusing on a specific tower and I can see how and why that would be impossible, but I have a slightly different problem so I'm looking to take the blacklist approach.
Basically, I have moved over to FreedomPop which is a VoIP service with free data. The problem is I keep connecting to a particular couple towers locally with no data connection, not 3G or 4G, which makes the connection useless. I want to blacklist the towers with no data.
My phone is rooted and Xposed is installed, if that can help. My thought basically is to identify the tower(s) and nuke them from the home list or PRL, wherever it's hiding. Is this possible?
Thank you.

Basically, can we add an enforceable "LTE Only" setting to this screen?

"Desire HD" launched on Telus today

I just read over on android central that the desire HD launched on telus today here in Canada. It is most likely an inspire since telus uses ATT frequencies. This could be an option to those who want to avoid all the ATT bloatware

[App]Block annoying post call service msg regarding balance.

Balance Update / USSD blocker
Block annoying post call service msg regarding balance.
This app selectively blocks balance update messages that carriers send after each call, typically on prepaid plans. These balance update messages show as annoying popups after end of each call.

I think with data roaming turned off you should be good to go.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
And Mobile Network on the first screen, you can turn it off and you will never have data connection. As posted above, data roaming is off by default. So you won't incurre roaming data costs.
It's not just data, International roaming call and text will cost you an arm and leg too.
