How far have you pushed your uncapped RAIN SIM?

[MEIOT]

Is there different types of B618?

Indeed there are.

Theres the B618-65d and the B618-22d locally

Is there different types of B618?

Yes, there are two different variants available locally with differing band compatibilities

Which one works best for RAIN??

B618-22d if it's primarily used for rain as it supports the 2600mhz used by rain. B618-65 is used with telkom's 2300mhz and is better for general use with all networks.

840GB but that's the furthest I'll ever go, afraid of getting cut off somehow.

Thanks. Does it support aggregation on RAIN? Does it show 4G+? Otherwise there is no use for me over this against the B315..

I can't confirm with the b618-22d as I have the 65 version with telkom, my b618-65 does show 4G+ so I would assume both versions will support the same technology.

Thanks. Will assume it supports it as they use 1800mhz and 2600mhz

Thought to ask,

how far have you pushed your uncapped RAIN Sim card? before you get banned/throttled/disconnected?

myself, highest I dared was 800GB, but no further afraid of getting cut off,
a colleague of mine just said he did 1,7 TB, although I don't really believe that is possible,

You people cock it up for normal users.....

 

[Nobody Important]

Guys, you seem clued up so let me ask you this. What (economical) 4g usb dongle can you recommend to me? I want to insert a RAIN sim into it, and plug it into my ASUS ac52u router.

 

[Goosfrabba]

probably average about 350GB. Felt a little bad about it, that I was abusing it. But upon hearing TB's of data being used, should up my game.

@cavedog I thought it had been established that no router currently available could combine the 2 rain bands?
@Savy561 can you please confirm this on rain mobile?

They don't. I have both and on Rain it's only 4G. I'm not aware of any router available that does support this and Rain also knows this as I have an email from one of the big guys at Rain confirming there isn't one available and they are looking at alternatives.

What about the Tplink Mr-200?

Thanks, so OP is obviously not on rain when they see 4G+

nope, B618-22d with full signal at all times,
but maybe thats becuse we have LOS to our RAIN antenna

used to use our Iburst now using our RAIN.

Which package or whatever its called did you get... I am contemplating this to supplement my ADSL to get around low upload speeds

Just an update if you're interrested. Paid my order yesterday morning, got the sim delivered today and activated just before 17h00. My co-worker had a B315 lying around at home which he brought to work. Hooked it up without any additional antennas. Got 12mbps down and 15mbps up with a ping time of 19ms. If this is consistant it is a real bargain @ R250pm...

 

[d1gg3r220]

Ran on 158gb for the 7 days free promotion, but somehow I couldn't set my limit, as I click on the + button, it jumps straight up to R7850, so I kept it at R0... Don't know when they resetting it. Situated in Newcastle (KZN), CBD got good coverage, on the map shows no coverage where I stay, but getting 2 bars of signal.

Those are moderate speeds for most of the people here. Some hit about 60mbps down. Hopefully, it gets better for you in a different location

No. Only if you use a voip service

I thought Rain is data SIM only, no VOIP.
