    Rain connected to wrong tower

    Same with me, this issue has been plaguing me for months now. I have a tower 800m from where where I have direct line of sight, the other tower in my area is over 2KM away with no direct line of sight and it's massively congested. Guess which one I am connected to 24/7? I don't getting 80-100mb...

    Rain High Ping

    PC MASTER RACE sir. COD MW, COD Warzone, CS GO all seemed perfect, pings 30ish which is my usual ping on 5G to local services. The physical ping does not worry me that much as it does other players. Without sounding like a douche I'm a high K/D player so anything under 60 to local servers gets...

    Rain High Ping

    After a couple of weeks of horrendous connection issues on 5G, copious amounts of disconnects and in-game shenanigans I have to say something happened on Thursday. From Thursday I have only had 1 disconnect and latency related issue in game. The entire weekend including Friday I've been getting...

    Rain - Dropping connection

    I've resorted to playing Single player games in the evenings for the last couple of days due to the Rain connection dropping the whole time, as well as severe packet loss, rubberbanding, ping spikes etc. Netflix and Youtube streaming on the TV even keeps on buffering and bombing out. The router...

    Rain 5G isn't great for gaming

    I Can't speak for @mrlgm007 on his exact experience, but my disconnects as well as the other guy in our complex have been as follows. Your net just dies, all connectivity is lost. Your windows PC, TV etc will show INTERNET, but you can't browse anything. Logging into my router shows full 4G and...

    Some results from the weekend. Saturday 1:37AM. Great speeds when everybody is asleep. Saturday at 15:31PM Saturday at 20:34PM Sunday At 1:11AM Me and my fellow 5G buddies on discord coined a new term "it's raining" instead of "I'm lagging" xD The amounts of rubberbanding and...

    Please do a MyBroadband speed test on Rain

    In another post I mentioned that I noticed a pattern in my connection speed. Every morning in the wee hours of the AM it's fast, and it gradually gets much slower as the day progresses. Have a look at this from yesterday. 9am in the Morning. Great Speeds as it should be. Then as the day...

    5G down PTA wonderboom south

    You are 100% correct. I've had tickets pre-lockdown that went 8 days and 7 days unanswered respectively. They still had online chat on the website and it would count down to "You are 1st in queue" and just hang there with no answer multiple times. Also I noticed that I was speaking to the same...

    New Fibre Provider? Afritel?

    Super old thread, but I see they are digging around Mountain View Pretoria and I saw it's Afritel on the nameplates.

    Full 5G signal but only 100 Kbps

    Hope it works out for you. I wish I could return to the first couple of months of no issues myself. Good luck!

    Full 5G signal but only 100 Kbps

    hi @nad_isa When Rain first rolled out I was getting 450 down on average, some days even 500+. I have screenshots of Steam downloads, Origin Downloads etc hitting 60MBPS. I had 0 issues what so ever it was buttery smooth, no disconnects no funny busines for months. I started getting issues the...
