900GB is disgusting man, why cant people just stream when needed and not try and download the internet each month? I think they need to limit the 19 hour package to 5mbps

I mean, it's 2020, 5mbps kinda slow for todays standards... but yeah I agree, if users go above X amount of data per day / week they should be throttled to a slower speed to avoid abuse. At least, this is if they're not going to upgrade their infrastructure to handle more connections.

In the past I've always been against throttling, shaping and FUP's, but now I know why ISP's do it and obviously, Rain doesn't do it, which causes us regular users to suffer badly.

900gb is abuse, especially on a mobile network in South Africa...

My usage a month is around 900GB, and I a on the R250 package. I had a problem from November to early January, couldnt do anything during the day, felt like dail up then. But everything is back to normal now, can stream 1080p no buffering during the day... My youtube is on all day till 6 and downloading movies/series for the whole 19 hours. and that is in Mossel Bay.

Why we can't have nice things... Hope you're happy.

Yea man 900Gb is killing the service for the rest of us! Imagine how many people suffering due to your abuse of the network. Sies man!
