Please do a MyBroadband speed test on Rain

Ping is up a little no clue why will give it a reboot later but still runs well.

Sundays it little slow down to the 80's but other than that PERFECT.

I am so sick of the crap that I have to put up with RAIN. Speed test at 18.20 is 9.24mbps D/L and 20.75mbps U/L.
I cannot even watch a YouTube at 144p without continual stop start. This has to be caused up huge traffic shaping.
 
I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong. Maybe someone can advise me on setting up my router better. I'm on the 5G premium product for R999pm.

Currently I get around 60Mbps down and 2.5 Mbps up. I live 1.5km away from Sandton.

I expected there to be a Tower in my area, or at least close by.

I have a the router on a pole on my balcony, but I am in a complex with no direct line of site.

Surely even without direct line of site I should get better speeds than that?

I also get intermittent disconnects, which can be annoying, takes a minute or two to reconnect.

Rain map shows 3 towers near me, 800 m, 1km and 2km away.They're all behind my building though.

Speed test from just now:

Mounting higher outside isn't possible as I am on the middle floor unit.

If theres no way to resolve and get better speeds than I'll setup fibre and pay the installation fee, it's already in the complex, so might as well. Just thought I'd give 5G a test run as it's flexible in terms of taking it with you.

If you are unsure maybe @rain_mobile should try getting you a technician ‍ to help you test speeds and try getting you the best position possible for this to work … but seeing that you living in a complex maybe it could be that … but try using rains optimiser
 
Best i have seen from my side
