Please do a MyBroadband speed test on Rain

[THE ONLY SUPERFLY]

Full signal in a hanset, 2kilos away from tower, no buildings.... I don't get it.....

Test done on 5G WiFi in Rietondale, Pretoria.
Device is in "optimal location" according to the router settings.
If you even try to upload anything, even send an email, the entire network becomes unresponsive and has to reboot.

Hasnt been this bad since April think the fix they did have been undone. These low speeds are very frustrating.
@rain_mobile, @rain_networks - Any information on what is going on?

In another post I mentioned that I noticed a pattern in my connection speed. Every morning in the wee hours of the AM it's fast, and it gradually gets much slower as the day progresses.

Have a look at this from yesterday.

9am in the Morning.


Great Speeds as it should be.

Then as the day progresses.....

5PM.



8PM when its gaming time.



This is literally every single day without fail. Great speeds and 0 issues when nobody is online, and it slowly progresses to absolute crap as more and more people come online or get home from work. One would think that 45 down and 1 up is fine for gaming on local servers for games like Call of Duty, Battlefield and Counterstrike (which in theory it should be) but that's not the issue. The issue is MASSIVE amounts of rubberbanding, latency, ping spikes and disconnects.

Extremely frustrating.

EDIT: I'll do Mybroadband speed tests as well

There is a pattern to rain speed dropping there is no way speeds should everyday at the same time like clockwork there is too many variables in life for this to happen.

With that being said the pattern going from bad to worse to a point where I need to drive to the mall to get downloads done at home it's totally useless it's a struggle to even download a 36KB image on WhatsApp 4/5 bars

If I look at the posts here, I have to say I'm glad I left about two months ago. Currently on a local Wisp, waiting while the fibre guys are digging up the neighbourhood.

.. 30mbps 5g package

 

[HerZeLeiD]

This started yesterday afternoon or so after having good speeds for 5 months.



The upload goes as high as 15mbit but the download stays below 1mbit. I'm not even gonna bother contacting them. If it doesn't resolve itself within about 2 days I'm simply cancelling and moving on.

EDIT: Well well, it fixed itself!

Some results from the weekend.

Saturday 1:37AM. Great speeds when everybody is asleep.




Saturday at 15:31PM




Saturday at 20:34PM





Sunday At 1:11AM




Me and my fellow 5G buddies on discord coined a new term "it's raining" instead of "I'm lagging" xD

The amounts of rubberbanding and disconnecting was too damn high.

Haven't had any problems since I switched from 4G to 5G back in April, though I wake up every morning hoping that rain don't throttle my connection today, I know they are coming for 5G too, they are just waiting for it to fill up.

This is the best I've got for 3 weeks. Absolutely shocking! Using Rain for 1 year never had speed issues like this. Bringing my business to a standstill. Probably going to cancel and move to another ISP.... today!

Same situation,regarding the gaming side of things.
It was still playable on a competitive level for CS about 2/3 weeks ago, now its constant rubberbanding :'(
