    Possible solution to rain slow network (worked really well for me)

    Our IT / network guru at work explained it best when I asked him what he thinks of rain. His words: rain is great until it's not. Then it's (swear word deleted) (swear word deleted).

    Rain connected to wrong tower

    Can someone please explain to me. The bottom 3 readings are from Vodacom and the top 3 from rain. From my stoep I can see both towers as they are less than 170m from me and almost right next to each other. I have always been connected to the rain tower. Then I went to rain's site and lo and...

    Im so tired of complaining about rain

    "The one positive thing about rain being the worst ISP in SA is they can only get better...Maybe" One would think so but alas they learned nothing from the Mywireless fiasco or there own fixed LTE offering and neither would they listen to their biggest client's CEO warning them about congested...

    @rain - did you change/fix something?

    Rain throttling everything except speedtest.net

    Rain doesn't throttle anything in the sense we understand it. They throttle by oversubscribing and relaying traffic through selected towers when their network is under pressure.

    Under 1Mbps on rain and connecting to tower 140KM away

    I'm exactly 170m away from the nearest rain tower as the crow flies. The other day I had 6 beers and I could almost hit it when my bladder revolted. As I type this I'm looking straight at it. Still my dl speeds are between 1.66Mbps and 1.33Mbps. I logged a call with their support but I guess...
