I have not quite gotten around to understand the Spectrum thingy....Everybody keeps on complaining about spectrum. Like Ram on post nr 2 stated, He gets 40 Mb down.
20 - 25 devices should give you 1Gb. A tower services more than 25 devices even though they not all using 40Mbps.
At what point do you saturate the fiber port on the tower? When do you saturate the region? is the last mile really the bottleneck?

Rain only got 30MHz in 2600MHz. If they roll it out people with a Huawei B618s-22d will likely start seeing 4G+ on Band 41.
That is about that for Rain. MTN, Vodacom and Telkom scored a ton of spectrum. I expect big things from them to be honest. Vodacom got 4 times what they own currently. It's a lot and if they had to buy this spectrum it would have cost A LOT of money. So hopefully we see some decent data specials from them soon.

Until November 2020. After that the temporary spectrum must be returned.

Because it needs to be auctioned and the spectrum that has been handed out now for free is probably worth a couple of hundred million Rand. Once spectrum is given to a network there is no taking it back. It's theirs forever even if the network gets sold.

My question is more along those lines, why has been the hold up in auction the spectrum? the digital migration?

This. It's like owning property - there is only so much available.
well to be honest I don’t think so for me personally I’ll Check tonight and tomorrow during the day ... and test this myself because I wasn’t home today ... did come shopping but my family noticed that the internet which is my rain sim in a pocket router was better than what we experienced for months ...

As I understand it the spectrum is not yet deployed as the licensing is still not issued and not all mobile operator's infrastructure can transmit some of the spectrum they received.

Also Vodacom's infrastructure is not compliant with the 2600Mhz band but rain is so their agreement will come in handy for Vodacom clients.
To my understanding this info comes from MBB
it was a question I asked and I have asked if the service or network speeds improved today and if was rather strange to those I asked but they have confirmed that the speeds improved
New spectrum – What you can expect from Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, and Rain
ICASA has issued temporary spectrum to Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, Rain, and Liquid Telecom. Here is what you can expect from these companies.

TRY 2300mhz. you do not have to jump to 2600 mhz mate. Common sense and experimenting. I have seen people actually getting higher speeds on low frequency instead of the 2600mhz. Sometimes highest is not the greatest.
