    Vuma Fibre Reach Tshwane

    Yeah I game on PS5 100gb updates take about 30 mins (on a good day).I get good speeds on rain 5G, DL can sometimes go to 900Mbps (fast.com servers), usually 500Mbps to rain or Speedtest servers. UL is around 150Mbps or so. I have a very clear line of sight to a tower around 500m away, with an...

    Vuma Fibre Reach Tshwane

    I’m holding back. I will not be given sub-par service. Vuma Reach by definition is rubbish and is sub-par. Why do they have to distinguish between Vuma “Core” and “Reach”. Still on rain 5G, Openserve is inching closer. I will wait for Openserve, a company that DOES NOT classify and restrict...

    How to override Vuma Reach limitations (willing to pay full installation costs)

    I'm willing to concede that there are factors that would mean I can't achieve this, but then again, there are other factors, specific to my case, that I think could end up with this being accomplished. I'm under no fantasy as to why Vuma chose to build out a Reach configuration in my area, but...

    How to override Vuma Reach limitations (willing to pay full installation costs)

    Please DM me the contact details for the relevant person to speak to at Vuma? Surely an exception can be made, more especially when I am willing to pay. Come on @AfriNatic you have the reputation of being steely and a problem solver, surely amongst the 3 of us, a solution can be found? I am...

    How to override Vuma Reach limitations (willing to pay full installation costs)

    I am willing to pay to get this facilitated and I am willing to open firm conversations and negotiations around this. Tell me what it costs and I will pay.

    How to override Vuma Reach limitations (willing to pay full installation costs)

    Thanks for the speedy response. I am less 50m away from a school that I presume will be sponsored with 1Gbps line, surely, if I am willing to pay the full monthly rate and the full installation amount, due consideration has to be given to what I am saying? Based on a needs analysis, if I am not...

    How to override Vuma Reach limitations (willing to pay full installation costs)

    Hi everyone, Trenching began in earnest in my street this week. Now I am preparing to enquirer further about replacing my @rain_networks 5G, which gave 500Mbps DL and 150mbps UL. Now seeing as the FNO is Vuma through Vumareach, can anyone at the 1Gbps-capable ISPs on Vuma please contact me...

    Telkom Esim

    They need to perform a SIM swap, from the physical SIM to the eSIM. It should really be no bother hey, just ask for the eSIM and ask for the SIM swap. Did mine at Menlyn in between buying groceries, I wasn’t gone long (the wife didn’t even notice I had ditched her at the Checkers to go get the...

    Non 5g areas that you pick up 65573 network id

    Bra yaka where in Pheli are you again? PM me and we can arrange that I come over with a 5G router to check your conditions. But I bet you are covered by Danville or Kwaggasrand and most probably Laudium towers and you have been for a while.

    Not for me, and many others I hope. I have always been able to have fallback.

    Rain 5G Winter Promo

    What I do during Loadshedding, especially when it affects towers in neighbouring hoods, I switch the network type to NSA, then it reverts to 4G. Most rain 4G sites do have backup, so like now at Stage 4, I am connecting NSA. As soon as I turn the house back on mains, off generator, I switch it...

    Rain 5G Winter Promo

    Yup, I can attest to that. If you have the ODU then it is best to put it outside, mount it on the highest point on your roof (clear of house lines and trees), and also a special mention goes to playing around with the antenna settings. rain 5G is a product that requires a bit of know-how, its...

    Rain 5G Winter Promo

    Sure no problem, you're welcome. I am within 5G coverage as of today, the new tower is 750m away. This tower is less than one day old. Previously, I was connecting to a tower 4,5 kms away (DL:180 UL:45), and then two weeks ago I started connecting with a tower 2,7kms away, (DL:480 UL:100) and...

    Test your broadband speed - win R5,000 cash

    Newly installed (2 days old) @rain_mobile @rain_networks 5G Tower 2,7 Kms away. I have rain 5G for over a year now, in the hope that their coverage would improve and now finally I can enjoy true broadband speeds in a township, with the hope of even higher speeds once a tower is put up closer to me.
