Why? This is the reason we cnt have nice things.. If u want a cap then go and use other providers that have a cap.. The readon ppl turn to rain is because data with other providers is insanely expensive and should not be capped at all.. That line of thinking that data should be capped is not going to get ud anywhere.. How does people downloading 2tb plus for a service they paid for affect u?? Smh

Your abuse of the service affects all of the rest of us. I'm not sure if you simply don't understand or don't care.

I've never been against a cap. A cap won't make it more expensive. Just be upfront about it. It's because people go overboard with stuff and use it in ways it can't cope with that we can't have nice things.
 
Then I think this is priced wrongly @ R250. Up it by R200 and give me uncapped.

What do y'all think is a fair cap?
 
500GB for R250. Why should everything always be upped to only accommodate high usage?

Fair cap.

Logically the uptake should be lower.

Don't forget a number of people on this thread have already cancelled. If capping ultra high data users results in improved speed for the rest, those clients may be lured back.

Exactly thats what i wanted to mention. Most people cancelled not because of high usage but because of network and maybe download speeds in their respective locations. rain is still growing so they need to install many towers in different locations.
 
These are the speeds i get when i change to a less congested frequency in my area 2600mhz -2500mhz
https://www.speedtest.net/result/8361830774 and it is consistent. But now i hardly download 1tbs because i ran out of stuff to download and 2. i just stream. and 3 most importantly, ran out of hard drive space lol

High usage = network congestion

Define high usage? many people using the same network at the same time is high usage. Large downloads is not high usage bud lol.

I think you are missing how cellular networks work. One person killing TBs of data a month implies less capacity for other people using the same towers. So, your selfishness to abuse the network directly affects other users in your area.

This is R250. Do you think if it was R500 subscriber numbers would be the same?

Most probably you would be surprised at the number of people using rain.. Most people use fibre.. LTE has its own headaches and mostly affected by weather etc
