Rain shaping streaming on its R250pm 4G now

Super funny doing speed tests and getting 60mbps but buffering on a 1080p youtube video with rain. Thank **** for vpn.

If you changed the band from 1800 to 2600, You get 3-5Mbps on Youtube. You can stream in FHD without a vpn

This on b618?

Seems like its a new shaping system set for youtube, netflix and other streaming platforms. So happy to be informed about it.

Seriously Rain, I love you guys but you make some REALLY questionable decisions (cough shaped 5G, cough shaped 4G to 10mbps).

Lol even if they did pay you to use it you will still complain.

Yes there's always ways and means with port blocking and deep packet inspection or good old IP range blocking.

Yes with a stealth protocol that's slower than a tortoise.

Thanx will check it out once my sim arrives.

on a b315s still not as good. 720p is doable and 1080p60 too but not as good as with vpn enabled

Wont agree or disagree with you completely, but the current state of SA internet is both appalling and overpriced, these prices are a standard in many areas for far better throughput, and after being a happy rain customer for just under 2 years with superb speeds and reliability (compared to my outskirt ADSL) I'm mostly just heavily disappointed that the reality of their situation finally caught up. You'll definitely find me on fibre if I ever move to a supported area but this is the best I (and some others) have for now.
