I got some catching up to do.... only did 6 gig so far, then again it seems torrents are limited. Web downloads happening at 2MB/s where torrents only get about 200KB/s hmmmm

Order number does not matter from what I have seen Looks like location matters. Sendr delivers in main centers first. JHB and surrouinds, PTA, Centurion and surrounds and CPT and surrounds. The people in outlaying areas probably will get some other random courier pitch up some time next week.

Stay about 50KM from Randburg in a smaller town. Got mine last night at about 6. Number 1500 or so, ordered on Friday. I don't think there is any pattern to the deliveries.

Yes p2p is limited but not limited 24/7. After midnight I managed full p2p until around 9am ish then I noticed slow p2p and during peak time 6pm to 11pm it maxing 100KB/s
 
i'm getting p2p around 2MB per sec mark.. since 11am to now. i know on normal Rain Fixed LTE(i normally pushed around 5-6MB per sec)
 
Managed to speak to the Durban Sendr driver now. He is on his way to my place should be here in an hour. He told me that he has an app and when he closes out one delivery then the next delivery shows up on his screen. Let’s hope it happens.

Sendr Biker asked me to test before he leaves, all 100%.
Guy was quite friendly.

I ordered 2 simcards on 2 different profiles. 1st one is order 175 to Richards Bay never showed no SMS nothing. Second order is 235 and was delivered on Friday evening at 6pm in Centurion.

I'm in Bellville : I watched how some of the guys confirmed delivery. I left the office at 6 on Friday after no positive word was spoken my way.
 
Guess I will have some waiting to do - The guy never showed up on Saturday as expected - this is after waiting for them on friday and still no show as originally scheduled. So when teh saturday reschedue did not happen I figured i'd get a call on Monday about it. Then today out of the blue I noticed some missed calls and messages that my delivery will be in 2hrs and then another one immediately after about rescheduling - I am in the early 200 range order number. Missed the delivery guy as firstly, I was not expecting anything on a sunday and also some us have church.

Have a feeling their call center will light up like a Christmas trees come monday morning if others have been through similar situation as I have.
 
[MENTION=37658]Migs[/MENTION] you that ZTE won't work on Rain's LTE-A network.

I have to search to find a router or mifi that can actually aggregate b3 and b38. So far I could only see phones that can do it. Like S8,S9 and P20 Pro

You won't with a non LTE-A device you can play with FDD 1800MHz Band 3 and TDD 2600MHz band 38. B38 has more spectrum so it's usually faster but not always. B3 has less spectrum but usually faster uploads because of FDD.

Check version of B315 you have and check if it has Band 3 and Band 18. If it has both you can change bands using the huawei band tool or Toolbox

LOL, mine was supposed to be delivered between 4 and 5pm on Friday and got the "slight" delayed message. Managed to get through to support on saturday morning and just by the way the guy was typing buy around 10am he had already seen a very long day. So he confirmed a new time between 9 and 10am on monday. I wonder if that will materialise.

Not if their online portal is has anything to do with it.
Mine still reflects my initial Friday delivery that came and went, even though I yesterday rescheduled for tomorrow, Monday btwn 10-12, but I honestly wouldn't bet a dime on it.
