RAIN LTE-A: Speedtests

froot said:
Speeds were unbearable today. It was so slow I couldn't even load a speedtest. Faceboob, MyBB, nothing would load properly. Congestion is the word of the day.

I was able to do so now and got an acceptable result, but this entire day was horrendous.

What's bizarre is my speedtests have tanked completely, under 5mbps, yet I can stream 4k YouTube no problem...

Stats for Nerds is saying I'm pulling over 60Mbps down from Youtube, all speedtests are under 5Mbps and browsing is dog slow, weird....

I'm not having any problems downloading, it's the uploads that are non-existent or as close to dial up speeds as you can get. This makes everything slow.

I am in same boat, 34meg down and 0.4meg upload for the last week or so (used to be at least 7-10 up)
 
My uploads were usually around 20Mbps.

I've just ordered a Cell C LTE card with a 20GB limit. Will test that out and if its better than Rain currently is then I will downgrade the latter and upgrade the former.

Using my Fixed LTE sim at the moment and download speed is good. Upload speed not so good.

Try Vodacom Business server. Noticed their server has better download and upload speeds.

Those are impressive download speeds not in Joburg to test rain but must admit in small little towns was overwhelming seeing download speeds of 70meg plus
 
Last night I got a toasty 42Mbps down and 9MBps up (the up isn't up to scratch). I was quite surprised. Usually a Sunday evening spells "no browsing today".
My sister, staying 2km from me, got 5 down and 4 up - not the norm either.

[MENTION=190249]ScottulusMaximus[/MENTION] this proves they are shapping!
 
I regularly get around 3 to 4Mbps in the evenings (from 6.30 onwards), but then goes up to 30Mbps in the mornings. This is just pathetic
