More whinging and whining from people that should know better. No ISP has infinite bandwidth so in that sense shaping and throttling is inevitable. If Rain doesn't shape traffic all the bandwitdg will be hogged by torrents and newserver meaning that Youtube and Netflix will buffer, in which case there wil be more whining.
I have to agree. When you take a single tower for example the max rate that tower can push is probably like 180Mbps to 220Mbps per band depending on spectrum.
So we know Rain has b3 and b38/41 so that is 2 bands per tower with minimum spectrum. 10MHz x 2 in B3 and 20MHz x 1 in band 38/41.
For comparison to Telkom which has 10MHz x 2 in B3 and 20MHz x 2 in B40 and that excludes the 3G and 2G spectrum they own.
Rain does not own any of the lower 2G frequency spectrum not do they own and spectrum in 2100MHz which is mostly used for 3G but can also be refarmed or used for LTE.
The mere fact that Rain has uncapped at such affordable rate is pretty impressive.
