Would be interesting to see a then vs now comparison ....
I believe speeds has gone for a complete ball of .....

Centurion - Rooihuiskraal
CPE is outside on the roof on a 6m pole.
5G tower is 580m away with clear line of site to the tower.

Then - 31 March 2020

Signal is not the problem.

The higher upload is due to the technicians from RAIN moving the device to the most optimal position they could find. After that and the network guys optimizing the network - speeds was great for a week or 2 - now back to s%^&.

Here is a speed test from after the optimization and repositioning of the CPE...... looking good .... just not for long :crying: Speeds has been steadily decreasing again - same as it did from mid April till mid May when it was unusable - seems we heading the same way all over again :rolleyes:

From what I understand - the network guys is still busy with optimization in the area - lets hope it gets sorted :popcorn:

Just to put it into perspective - at least it is not any where close to the low point of 19 May 2020 :sick:
