Rain 5G best package

[Padacus143]

Ok, but is it a known issue being worked on?

Everyone who got contacted by rain to fix this problem got their lines fixed temporarily then it got worse. I'm scared mine will get worse if they contact me too.

I was checking rain 5g coverage map when I put my address it says 5g not yet in your area yet my neighbor 4 houses from me has coverage,just baffled

Depends on where tower is. Your neighbour within radius of the tower.

I luckily fall within coverage for 5G but just a block or 2 away its only 4G.

Good day, i would like to know if there would be a massive increase in speeds between rain 5g standard and the premium package as advertised as i am constantly fighting bufferring in my household when all devices are connected and cant really play any online games although the speedtest shows over 30Mb download speed

Rain 5G best package

Hi Apologies, not sure if already asked. Quick search didn't pick up anything. Which Rain 5G package is the best? I've seen complaints about unlimited R479 vs 19 hours R250 packages but these are not 5G? Would appreciate advise on whether its worthwhile to upgrade from my Telkom 3G R599...

I've been really happy so far. I activated two days ago. And the router is inside the house, lol. The ping is usually 15 or so - I've been hoping for pings less than 10, even though I'm not gaming (yet, I want to start in the near future). This is on the 5G Home package. I'm in The Reeds, Centurion. It is supposed to be throttled to 30mbps.

No issues whatsoever with streaming; there are two of us constantly on social media and Youtube. It streams in 720p / 1080p no problem.

Rain has their own speedtest site when setting up the router, and it tells you what speed you could be getting if you were on the premium package. I could be getting 140mbps if I go onto the premium plan. It makes me salivate, lol.

When you say that the router inside, is there no antenna?

Got an antenna with my Telkom 3G fixed LTE.

They don't give any antenna , but they give everything else in order to affix it somewhere outside your house.

The point is people get decent speeds where others don’t it’s simple like that

If majority poor service ... statistically odds against a new subscriber, thus pointless investing in a service.

Some services tend to over commit ... resulting in poor speeds for the majority.

Yet the we can’t resist the fact that it’s 250 for what we are promised and pushing this service and showing adds about it all over that’s how we get trapped

Thanks

R250 for 5G ... really ... blocked

Some have no purpose in life but to make pointless comments.

Yeah, I was kinda stressed about whether my service would be good or bad. Turns out it was good, yay!

What helped tip me over the edge to try, was that there are no fixed contracts, and I looked on my local FB groups and did a search for "Rain" / "5G". I saw that 90% were very satisfied, so I thought it worth the shot.

I'm glad I went for it!

You've inspired me to go for it

My area is in their 5G coverage.

Be careful with that, I am in their 4G area, but there is very, very little, not usable.

Cool! But just check your local FB groups first please

I'll try it ... if no happiness I can cancel as its month to month?

Yeah, I cancelled after 4 days.
