Rain FIXED LTE crippled now due to Rain mobile.

So I guess it is going to become the norm to accept 500Kb download speeds on my fixed rain account.

Then after 11pm, back to 5MB..

Based on all the feedback here, its clear that rain is iBurst reborn.
Will give it a skip methinks.
*looks forward to getting FTTH*

Yeah i am going to wait for Ocotel Fibre To the home. what is the network routes to Joburg like?

They just need to sort that out, it's so irritating for the fixed users.

My opinion, they should have two separate networks for Fixed and Mobile users, clearly sharing infrastructure and bandwidth currently, it simply cannot keep up with the amount of users.

Hopefully only a few months before Fibre is ready in my area.

Well, I believe that once the "free days" period is over for Rain mobile users, performance during peak time should pick up for fixed LTE users. It makes sense because currently the majority (if not all Rain mobile users) are hammering the network during peak time as well seeing that they don't need to pay a cent for usage (yet).

I don't know, I could be wrong, but if I were a betting man, I'd place some money on this theory of mine

To be honest, if looking at the webpage , why anyone would want to pay R50/GB is beyond me

5 cents p/MB (basically OOB) is not bad at all.

Telkom Freeme 20GB prepaid bundles = R30/gb

And how much do you pay if you only need 1Gig mobile data per month?

BTW, you can get cell c data at R10/gb

Cell C R10/gig? Is this night data or ?

No, it's anytime.

I just want to also mention that Vodacom also pushing their customers onto the Rain towers. So not only Rain Mobile crippling Rain Fixed LTE.

What are you guys talking about... this was just now

My Point exactly ... Rains pricing is not innovative or competetive
Also judging by posts I am seeing they have some nasty teething issues atm

Depends on what you need, if you only need 1Gig mobile data a month, then it is not bad.
