Unlocked the 5G connection today

[minkukel]

Well I should not be influenced by loadshedding. My RAIN 5G tower is at Doringkloof Openserve exchange which never goes down during loadshedding.(Yes I have one of the old Telkom uncapped LTE packages.).
And did a test run just now: +- 20MB/s average on multi threaded downloads.

Got back after 2 weeks of work in the free state and i see they added a new tower to my area

My connection once again after Loadshedding is a disaster. Rain 5G just not worth it with the ongoing loadshedding which continuously breaking the towers.

Switched to my 5G because my Afrihost fibre is giving me latency spikes. So both my 5G and fibre can't be used for playing games.

Surely you must have climbed up the tower and put your unit right next to the antennae

I don't trust this. Test with speedtest.

I don't trust this. Test with speedtest.

Even speedtest result can be modified with the inspector, you would probably need to ask for the result id in that scenario.
But I doubt any1 would want to go and modify their result as there is little to be gained from it lol.

Here is a sample nonsense(fake) below:

@NeonNinja Another one on a test

I do find fast.com does gives an inflated value on speedtest.net max i have seen is 670 i think

these are the settings im using in the fast.com test

Gees, right now I'm defaulting to 4g!! Tower must be down again... no loadshedding so Rain will have to find a different excuse...

EDIT: Oh, restarted the router and back on 5g....

Happened 2 times during the weekend. A restart fixed it.
