RAIN LTE-A: Speedtests

[EasyUp Web Hosting]

Uploads are bad lately, Midrand, B618:

 

[SlowInternet]

My upload speeds are also terrible lately. I'm getting like 1 - 2.5 Mbps upload speeds

 

[Caldria]

When your up is faster than your down.. good times.

Just signed up...5-working days to get the Kit...Johannesburg South within the coverage area..Just cancelled my Telkom LTE as Telkom is useless. Hopefully this is better. Anyone have this service in JHB south? what are the speeds and latency like?

 

[pouroverguy]

Anyone elses speeds suddenly tanked in Cape Town Southern Suburbs?

My upload in Midrand is still poor, not sure what is going on:

Also not sure which one to trust:

Look, ADSL only gives 1mbit upload. so anything above 1mbit upload is a bonus... (and i also don't want to upload lots of data specially on LTE. Just uses my cap)


My speeds today has been fine(CPT) -

Happy with this so far, seeing that I'm outside the coverage area and only have an indoor B315

B315 with Poynting XPOL-1 in a tiny island of coverage in Mount Edgecombe.

On the edge of coverage.

Nice upload speed. Wish I can get that.

Wow can't believe I'm getting this upload speed this morning

Was in Rustenburg the weekend and tested there:
Arendskloof:


Protea Park


Placed an order for a 2nd 50GB Package through Mweb, as they still give the B618 for free.

Also on a side note, Afrihost advertises different speeds for B315(up to 30mbps) and B618(up to 50mbps)...

 

[pouroverguy]

Internet incredibly slow. Most webpages taking minutes to load

Received my B315 modem yesterday from Afrihost and did some speed tests. As you will see it is incredibly slow for RAIN LTE. I even placed it as high as possible in the house until I got the best signal (all 3 signal bars lights on) but still terrible. Only time when I get sort of decent speeds is in the middle of the night. This is in Roodepoort Little Falls area. Any advice would be appreciated.

Change your frequency to 2600MHz because it looks like you are on 1800MHz by the looks of it and you stay in a densely populated area so I think it could be congestion.

Thanks Cavedog. Do you know where to do this on the B315 modem setup, can't recall seeing an option to change frequency? And should roaming be on or off?
