RAIN LTE-A: Speedtests

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.

My speed test results look similar to that poster's. Tried 1800/2600/auto on a 315 and a 618
Same type of results.

At 20.30, I ain't complaining.

Now imagine if Carrier Aggregation was actually working properly and you added 1800MHz speed to the one you got there. You were going to beat most fibre speedtests. Rain is totally letting us down and under selling their network actually. Makes me sad. :cry:
 
I agree, would be really nice!!!!

One thing though. The rain product was advertised from the beginning as between 10-50mb/s.
So in essence, you are getting what was advertised.
I get that LTE-A should be faster, so wouldn't the max of 3gb/s be better, or am I missing something?

Why haven't MyBB contacted you to do a report on this...? I remember back when you talked about CellC, they did. :)

He sent all the info to uncle RPM almost exactly a week ago with as far as i know zero response. I would guess RAIN hasn't given word back but who knows. :whistle:

I have handed all my research and tests to MYBB and Rain. No feedback and I guess it would probably stay like that. I could take it a step further and take Rain on with the ASA to get their attention but what will I achieve exactly.

They are selling data and a network that is essentially LTE-A capable and available for use but supply and limit to routers that does not allow you to use it.

If they open the network again I could show you they do indeed aggregate 1800MHz and 2600MHz in my S8 but yeah the routers they limit the network to now just does not.
