Tonight both my Rain mobile and Fixed Lte speed are terrible
 
20ms, 3meg down and up. Fixed LTE garsfontein pta, yet I can stream HD(1440p) YouTube...

Fairly clear evidence of shaping despite them denying it. RAIN obviously catch the mybb speed test app in their protocols, expect a magical boost once they figure this out.

As yet more evidence of shaping, a speedtest.net webpage test, 19ms 76meg down and 7meg up

A mybb webpage test(done on my phone as well to rule out wifi bottle neck), is 19ms with 73meg down and 8meg up.

torrents max out at 100kB/s every now and then but generally bounce around 70-80

Unshaped my arse...

Just ran the test now, but there is an issue: Running a speed test on the MyBB speedtest app always gives extremely slower speeds as compared to SpeedTest app.

The tests below were done one minute apart.

Not so good.


It use to be faster.

Moving in Aug. Will initially keep rain but will move to fibre once a bit of homework on ISPs have been done.
