Rain 5G users - Please do a MyBroadband speed test

[rpm]

If you have Rain 5G it will be great if you can do a speed test here:

• MyBroadband Speed test

or

• Speedtest.co.za

This will help us to see what the real-world performance is and report accurately on the service.

 

[BlackJack1301]

Coming back tomorrow, will see if antennas help with signal... will report back, impressed with service so far, so let's hope.

Thanks for your posts guys. If you can indicate your area, it can give an idea of rain's 5G coverage.
