Rain slow upload speeds

[rpm]

We have received numerous complaints about slow upload speeds on Rain, and our own speed tests have now shown that the average upload speed in some regions are less than 1Mbps, while download speeds remain good.

Have you seen slow upload speeds on Rain, and if so, in which region are you?

Also: It will be great if you can do a MyBroadband Speed Test using the Speed Test App (for Rain Mobile), or the Browser-based Speed Test (for fixed LTE-A).

abysmal...quite often 0.01 Mbps which is essentially useless, and speed tests often fail to complete due to uploads never finishing.

Thanks for the speed test - can you please also do a speed test using the MyBroadband Speed Test App? That data really helps us to pick up these problems.

Experiencing the same problem with slow upload speeds even spent hours on the internet changing settings on Microsoft Windows Publicy (QoS) etc even as far as changing network settings on the card etc but nothing has changed..

Unfortunately cannot do so right now, at work currently

But I can assure you it is a problem at the moment, Cape Town especially, quite a few colleagues at work has the exact same issue. Brackenfell/Bellville/Goodwood/Parow areas.

When making use of MyBroadBand speedtest have noticed slower download / upload speed normally should be the other way around..

Exactly the reason why I don't use MyBroadbands speedtest anymore, tests are always slower than on Speedtest.net.

I too have noticed that my upload speed has dropped from 4.5 - 5mb down to 1.2-1.5mb tops since Tuesday / Wednesday

So rpm what is raining saying about this problem and what are they going to do about it. Maybe MyBroadband should do an article?
If this carries on much longer they are going to loose out on 20 sim cards I was planning on getting.

This started yesterday and is getting worse.


It's not possible to run with this slow upload speed. It is killing my work.
