New Rain uncapped 4G package launched

[ronz91]

But usually with this you paid R1 plus delivery, then pay R250 after a week. No they debit the full amount upon ordering.

Why not just go straight to the R479.00 package.

How did you get that error, is it during sim activation or order?

I am trying not to be one of those people who moan about the 360p video, but it is the dealbreaker for me. I would rather pay a bit extra for 720p.

When I saw the headline, I thought I was finally saved from Telkom and their uncapped LTE with substandard speeds, but it's just not meant to be. Even though I get sub 5Mbps speeds on Telkom, at least I can stream HD video. Given that my parents use it for Netflix and YouTube, Rain is not feasible.

And a vpn is not an option for you?

Oooopsie!!!

So have to go through RAIN directly who doesn't offer the trial no more.

And for some reason no pro rata.

Anyone managed to upgrade current sim ? Phoned them and they said I should just order the R479 and my sim would get upgraded and I would be billed pro-rata at the end of the month.
However when I tried ordering the R479 option it wanted to bill me the full amount :/.

Phone them and ask them to upgrade your sim.

That is what I did, and they said I should order from the store and it would get "upgraded" and only be billed pro-rata.
Not the case tho. Will phone again.

Curious to know how livestreaming services like Twitch would be affected. Some streams are 1080p or nothing and require about 6000kbps constant throughput.

Does this also apply to DSTV now?

Probably ... , see no reason why not.

They changed the streaming quality from 360p to 480p. My speed seems to be higher while streaming too, from 1.3Mbps to 3Mbps, sounds a lot more realistic. 720p is easily doable on youtube.

HOWEVER, this is on the R250 package, can't vouch for the new R480 package.
