Rain 5G Questions

[Lawrence777]

Hi guys

I have a few questions about Rain's 5G. Hoping someone can shed some light on the following...

1) How does one identify which Rain tower is a 5G tower or not?

2) What is the max or average theoretical distance from a tower to your router that would allow a stable connection?

3) Can one take their coverage map at face value? I remember when I got the 4G it didn't show coverage for quite a few KM's yet I was connecting just fine at 20 - 30MB/s and +/- 25MS ping

Hi, as requested:

1. Very hard to tell without having the service and using the optimizer in your dashboard
2. It depends on the topography but 1km is normally good
3. The coverage map is "indicative" coverage - so we tend to be conservative

If you are not 100% sure, then PM me your address and I can check with internal tools!

Cheers
