Is Rain really this bad?

[Godspeed69]

I always thought people where exaggerating a bit but holy crap!, There is no way in hell that this is 10mbps. Can't even watch a 480p YouTube video consistently!.I ordered the 4g phone 24h unlimited and I cancelled it the same day. Gonna stick with my 19hr Telkom (yes it is capped at 250gb@10mbps, but no torrent throttling , no hotspot limitations no funny business and it R90s cheaper you at least know what you're getting.. Rain is SCAM!

I don't want to be that person but are you serious?

So we can expect another person saying you are exaggerating tomorrow and that they will buy Rain.

From all the threads on how bad Rain is, people think the people complaining are exaggerating?

I didn't really research rain that deeply that was my mistake. But this is honestly a scam!

Its as bad as people say it is... even worse by some accounts.

Yeah Rain is absolute rubbish,

Got the router and package for one of my staff so she could work from home. The network constantly was dropping, buffering and just in all pathetic and unreliable, cancelled the package and moved over to the Afrihost LTE (MTN network) and no problems ever since.

Out of all the people I know who have tried Rain or had Rain, I only know of one person that it worked for them

I really hope RAIN is not that bad, but with a delivery address as follows,

Did not know Mangaung Municipality was in the Eastern Cape.

Well

Experiences differ

If it was all bad they wouldn't be in business so successfully

I still use the 4G, because its cheaper than data, its always there, always working, not brilliantly I will add, but acceptable, using Youtube as an example, daytime, 480-720 sure

Night time, 1080 60 no issues, most of the time.

This varies wildly on where I am though, tower congestion and all that jazz

Would I recommend it to anyone? No.

Thankfully, this was easily sorted out.

Rain has been utterly useless this past week, cannot even upload a 3mb file, it just bombs out.

Come loadshedding, repeat the process.

OK. I see where the problem is.

Replace the plastic bucket with a steel one and this will increase reception and correct the problem you are experiencing...

Also make sure you pat your head and rub your tummy while connecting.

I tried that , but found out putting on top of a steel birdcage ,strapped to the gutter improved the reception . with a bucket over it .
