Afrihost has informed its subscribers that the Rain network team is investigating an issue affecting upload speeds on its fixed wireless network.<\/p>\n

This network notice, which was posted late on Friday afternoon, follows an article by MyBroadband<\/strong><\/a> about upload speed problems on the Rain network.<\/p>\n

Over the last few days, numerous consumers informed MyBroadband that they were experiencing slow upload speeds on the Rain network.<\/p>\n

MyBroadband\u2019s network testing confirmed that Rain experienced a significant drop in its average upload speed over the last week.<\/p>\n

In response to questions regarding the slow upload speeds, Rain CEO Willem Roos that the company will have to investigate the issue in more detail.<\/p>\n

He added that the slow upload speeds could be a result of subscribers being on a cell edge, or in an indoor area where their coverage is \u201cnot great yet\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, many of the subscribers experiencing slow speeds are using Rain\u2019s fixed LTE-A network and have used the service in the same location for months.<\/p>\n

The graph below shows Rain\u2019s average upload speed (in kbps) over the last week, based on MyBroadband mobile speed tests across the country.<\/p>\n
