Hi.I'm new to the Rain LTE. I just got it a few days ago. But my internet speed is terrible when I do a Speed test. It gives me 0.5mbps and I'm using a Huawei B315s-936 Router. I went on Rain's website and logged a query but the do not respond to any of my emails. I only got a notification about payment (like really?? I know I have a debit order going off, but please respond to my mail) I have moved the router around in my house, but absolutely no results. Worst part, I actually get full 4G signal, but my speed is still slow. Please!!! Can anyone assist??

No.
Dump RAIN and move to another network.

Only if you're in some parts of Joburg, Cape Town and UFS.

You won't be able to lock on to the 2600Mhz band since the B315 doesn't support it. The only one supported is the slow ass 1800Mhz.
On their website, check out the optimize option which will pinpoint the tower you are currently connecting to and with that information you can maybe get an antenna
.I don’t think there is anything can be done ,today got XPol-6 and was getting good results Until 6pm came then got the worse results ever , I’m holding my tears rite now feel wasted my money .
Rain has congested Towers , lots of subscribers then on top of that they dump Vodacom ppl to their spectrum to make things worse.
B38/41 is not available in most towers, best solution is to dump them.

What if there is no specific towers u connected on , been checking the whole day doesn’t show which tower but it shows towers around .You won't be able to lock on to the 2600Mhz band since the B315 doesn't support it. The only one supported is the slow ass 1800Mhz.

That's odd, when I login to the Rain dashboard under the "my devices > optimize " tabs, it shows the currently connected tower and location.

We've all realized by now that come 18:00, speeds are throttled across the board on Rain to +-5Mbps.
Hi Willie I'm in Vanderbijlpark aswell everytime there is an COD update my internet is useless. But next day it's better. My speeds is overall great
U can have a look too, doesn’t show anything tower that I’m connected to .That's odd, when I login to the Rain dashboard under the "my devices > optimize " tabs, it shows the currently connected tower and location.
