I've told @rain_mobile if they can't sort out their power issues I'll have to cancel. They have credited me for April.
Haha noooo, not going down that rabbit hole. When it works it works well (for now). I'm not whining about speeds every day. The problem is how often it's down. I just find I get more response posting here, and also it helps to air laundry in public. After all, what better testimonial of service than in a public forum.
@rain_mobile @rain_networks
Just letting you know it's been stable since your last intervention.
So far, I'm not seeing any reduction in speed over time, and far less variation than on LTE.
In case I get accused of only bitching on this forum

Hey man, I am on 5G and it has been great except for loadshedding but that's Eskom's problem. I am very happy with rain. Was able to break 200Mbps in my neighbourhood when the site went live and it has settled down to where I don't have to worry about sub 2mbps anymore.
They really went out of their way to sort us out. If they have done for you what they did for me and its still not working then maybe its something outside their control. Interference or just pure overcongestion. Im in a small town where a couple of neighborhoods had to rely on one tower. It could be similar situation in your area. If you having issues on 4G try 5G and vice versa. If both fail and you can afford anything else do it. Even if you have to go with Telkom R99 for 7.5gb (15gb with night data) or try fibre or even mtn's fibre over air.

I'm glad you're sorted.
It's been a long time.

Yes, it has been amazing on 5G, the only hiccup is when there is heavy rain that seems to block the signal or trip power at the tower, not sure.I'm glad you're sorted.
Haha, heavy rain. Well at least your efforts paid off. Touch wood, my 5G is working OK since they sorted the power issues out (municipal problem).
But did you reboot your router?
It's not you it's rain and their never ending issues. Get telkom mobile 2tb deal...
3g is faster than that
@rain_mobile Internet is down. Router reports no service, reboot doesn't help. Please advise?
Hi @jbroo
We still awaiting an update from the network team, will give you a call with regards to a possible tat.
Thanks @rain_mobile it is back on. Your guy Philip was on the ball and called several times to update me. Get that man a Bell's.
JB it’s nice to see you still running the rain thread
