I recently signed up and subsequently cancelled my 5G package I took their largest package in the hopes speed and caps would not be a concern.
However something worse has occurred there is an insane amount of packet loss I get almost precisely as it hits peak hours like 5pm which makes the product useless for me as I have a job and work 9 to 5 only to get home to a connection that is functionally not useful.
Before I get asked, I have 2 5g routers an older model from Huawei and the newer TpLink one that comes from Afrihost I own external antennas and get -83dbm power -11 on quality and 19 on SINR. I have tried wired and non wired it has no bearing on the result not does signal strength or router.
The packet loss is between the regions of 15-20% and gets progressively worse the closer to 8pm it gets. It means doing simple tasks like streaming in content or sending a whatsapp becomes very frustrating Ive seen another post in the forums within the last month that complains of the same exact thing.
If you try use it in a morning or early afternoon with same signal values I get zero packet loss and exceptional speeds but all of that is irrelevant when the main use case for most is not usable.
