Rain 4G and 5G now without streaming quality limits, but increased prices

Rain hikes prices and removes streaming limits

Rain has increased prices and removed streaming quality limits on several of its uncapped 4G and 5G products.

The mobile network operator sent messages to customers over the weekend, informing them of the price changes made "in line with inflation".

On 5G Basic, and can confirm that streaming quality is much better now:



4k 30fps is running fine, but 4k 60fps struggles a bit. Not bad for an entry level package.

Are their towers still congested?

Yea, upped my fee by R50. However, they removed the limits so now I stream 1440p happily and upped the max speed to 60mbps. Decent for a R50 bump on the Home package I suppose.

If you are lucky enough to get signal.....then maybe...

Best decision they ever made.

Does 5G still fall over during a blackout?

R50 change, how did it factor in their pricing model

It probably didn't, just took an opportunity to fix a mistake on their end and get something out of it at the same time.

Seems a lot better now. It has gotten so bad at times that we couldn't watch youtube even at 240p.

I'm sure this is what the price increase is for. To fix this other "mistake".
