RAIN LTE-A: Speedtests

blunt said:
i am in a rain dead zone at home but i have a rain sim i stuck in a tablet of mine (galaxy tab s2 8.0) which does LTE. I get around 15mbit down and 10 up on speed tests, doing tests of large downloads it hovers around 1.4-1.7MB/s. Is this expected for a plain LTE connection on rain? I'm in CPT N Subs at the moment testing it out (Panorama). If I had LTE-A would it be better?

LTE is anything from 1Mbps - 50Mbps. Largely depends on your location from your tower and congestion.

Looking at the specs of that tab, it seems you only connecting to rain band 3(1800) as that tablet doesn't have band 38(2600) and 41(2500) which rain also uses. If the tower that you connect to offers band 38/41, then you should be able to get better speeds by using another device with those bands in general.
 
Anyone help me with my high jitter, it only happens certain times during the day

Nice, yeah, getting an xpol-6 would definitely help if you can get your hands on one for a decent price. We got ours second hand but basically brand new. Pointing that at the 2600 tower would give great results, we are far away from the tower and always have full bars.

Nice ,do u have any problems , then I will consider getting an external antenna
 
My connection has stabilised quite a bit.. Still not getting the 200mbps and above as advertised... but I am getting a fairly stable 100mbps which is good enough for me at the moment (compared to my previous 10mbps adsl line)
 
Has anyone tested Rain 5G Standard option yet, and know whether they actually enforce 480p on streaming sites or not? Not sure how they would implement that.
