Rain Uncapped - Slow connectivity to all Google services

For those still experiencing this, especially with Huawei Routers, try changing frequencies in the WLAN Advanced Settings section. I changed my frequencies to 8 and no issue with Google anymore.

That just changes your Wifi channel to, probably, a less used one.
It's unrelated to the Google connectivity issues.

Two weeks now and i'm still having this issue, the last communication I got from Rain was on Tuesday saying they're still investigating.
 
Still an issue connecting to google services, takes a couple of tries, once in it is ok. And frequencies does not make sense, that is a local setting for devices on the same wireless, nothing to do with DNS.
 
This is the biggest problem with Rain LTE right now, almost every site depends on one or more google services and this results in a bad internet experience.

Worse for those who don't know that they must reloading the page until it connects. So they just wait and think its slow to load a page.

They might also not know how to solve this. I mean it also affect VMs hosted on google cloud, certainly not a DNS problem since i am accessing them via IP. The only question is are Rain 5G users experiencing the same issue with google services?

I have been there, opened two tickets too. Well they did nothing to help with speed problem, i even gave up trying all tricks trying to get my speed above 20Mbps. Just waiting to upgrade to 5G since they are aware of this problems and they just not going to solve them anytime soon.
 
Latency currently at nearly a full second and speeds under 1.5mb currently
 
Have you guys tried changing WIFI channels? I know it does not make sense but i reverted back to default dns and changed wifi channels on both 2.4g and 5ghz and never had issues since. Everything opens up just as quick. Speeds are on average around 55mbps down according to speedtests but on 5ghz wifi I have even higher speeds than before if these speedtests are to be believed. Up to 70mbps+ on downloads with uploads pushing up by about 3mbps from an average of 19.

I know it does not make sense that wifi channel would correlate with what seems to be a DNS or other issue but in my case all my issues got sorted and if anything I now have faster wifi speeds.

Some of us connect to the router via ethernet so it cancels out the WIFI channels as a problem.

Toolbox for new Huawei HiLink devices (E5186, B315s)

This is very nice tool for setting up external antenna direction. It can be also used for inspecting router setting, modify some entries and even to modify API. Frankly, you could do everything from the Web browser (if you know what to do), it is just a convenience tool. It works on B315s. If...

So, I noticed this issue for the first time over the weekend. I added the IPV4 and IPV6 google dns to my connection settings and problem has gone.

This did nothing for me and today it is damn worse than before. Really really getting P'ed off here with this crap.
 
i have had to use a vpn cause only google services are slow even when changeing dns , wifi signal and the band the router is connecting to, this is a issue on rain network / peering issue.
