What speeds should I expect with the RAIN R250 uncapped 19h a day deal?

Hi. Apologies if this has been answered already, but I only really see threads about RAIN and 5G lately.

The Title pretty much says it all. I'll be in a covered area, and currently have a B315 but I am considering getting a B618 router.

What speeds do you get, and would upgrading my router make a dramatic difference to my speeds?

How long is a piece of string?

Get the SIM card, it's currently R1 plus delivery. Get it and test.

They informed me that they no longer offer the first 7 days free - despite it still being in their T&Cs...

I didn't say they do. I talked about delivery.

It's only R250. Or you can just say if you can't afford it. You can also cancel if you're not satisfied.

I'm just looking for feedback from other users...

For some it's unusable. For some they get 2Mbps, some 40Mbps. Also depends on the time of day, your area, how close you are to the tower etc.

You can test the network without adding the 19hrs uncapped. You would be charged R50 per gig, pay for only what you use. Its difficult to give you speeds in general because it differs by location. Personally I get lowest 4Mbps when in town at work because only b3 1800 is available. at home I get 40Mbps average on b41.

During the day i get about 5-15mbps and at night about 40-50mbps. from Port Elizabeth

edit: I do not have LTE-A on my tower, just the normal 4G-LTE if that makes a difference
