Wireless is a scam

1 moron = 20 mightyQuin?

Are you a certified installer?

Yes

I'm using Rain at 2 sites where fibre is available and so far no regrets what so ever!! The test posted below is 5 months later, standard in door installation...

Looks good for indoor!

You really have trouble with your units.

That's what she said.

Maybe your ISP is kak, but in all the years I've had afrihost LTE I haven't had a single outtage that wasn't corrected after a few minutes with tech support. Compare that to the regular reports of fibre being out in certain areas and ja...your argument works both ways.

No you are conflating at least two issues.
All technologies are subjected to the same crappy business plans and poor support
Then there is the inherent superiority of wired over wireless.
Ultimately, wireless is there for mobility, NOT as a core backbone fixed location solution.
It is fundamentally wrong to use wireless for fixed location access.

I cancelled my fibre. They are forever digging up the cables. Too unreliable. RAIN gives 520MB/s.
5G cannot be deployed soon enough!

Really?
520 MB/s??
520 x 8 = 4.16 Tb/s radio networks.
Now there is a thing.

The levels of technological ignorance on this technology forum knows no bounds.

Also, remember ISP's everywhere give speed test traffic the highest priority.

The real test is actual downloads

Hey I'm Google Certified, I took a 5 minute questionnaire (can't really call it an exam) and Google gave me a badge on my profile

Rain launched its commercial 5G service on 11 November 2019, offering subscribers unlimited data at speeds of up to 700Mbps for R1,000 per month.

so you've managed to make rain increase their advertised speed from 700mbps (87.5 MB/s) to 4160 mbps (520 MB/s)

Really worrying that you believe that

 

[Geoff.D]

MTN fixed LTE (Afrihost)
ISP: Air Mobile
Ping: 18ms
Download: 63.23Mbps
Upload: 152.18Mbps

More technology BS.

Yes whatever, what speed are getting?

NO not whatever. As someone who claims to be a "radio engineer" these statements of yours are incredible!

Yes like that

Why? Everything can justified

As per speed test, 520Mbps. Yes.

You are blowing smoke and avoiding the topic. Commonly known as being a troll

@sherewarrior @koogs

Here is a lead for you. Please help this person.

 

[sherewarrior]

That's what she said.

Not really, reference to topic at hand it is insignificant, some trolls like to make issues xto frustrate the firum. We have in anycase cleared the issue on the units

"Core backbone fixed location solution". Serious words for what's basically just my home internet. Your distinction is kind of arbitrary. Data is data, transmission mediums evolve & especially at home I don't care how data is transmitted. I've had no downtime or installation costs with LTE so as a way of getting my internet it's perfectly fine for me.
