Rain has confirmed that all active fixed-LTE users will receive free off-peak data from 1 December 2018.<\/p>\n
Rain made the statement to MyBroadband following information from an industry player about the bonus data.<\/p>\n
Subscribers will receive off-peak data from 23:00 to 18:00 – a period of 19 hours – each day, on top of their anytime data allocation.<\/p>\n
For example: if you are a subscriber with a 55GB package, you will receive 55GB anytime data, and an extra 55GB off-peak data to use between\u00a023:00 to 18:00.<\/p>\n
Rain stated that the off-peak data allocation will not specifically be subject to shaping, but it\u00a0reserves the right to manage its network, both in peak and off-peak times, to ensure a good experience for all its users.<\/p>\n
The off-peak data announcement comes after Rain announced<\/strong><\/a> in July that it will\u00a0suspend the sale of its fixed-LTE products through partner ISPs due to capacity constraints on its network from 1 November 2018.<\/p>\n November also marks the end of Rain’s fixed-LTE double-data promotion, which saw users who signed up for Rain packages in 2017 receive a double data allocation.<\/p>\n The double-data promotion is set to end on 30 November.<\/p>\n Rain Mobile offers users a similar off-peak data option, but the mobile version is “unlimited” data and costs R250 per month.<\/p>\n Rain has confirmed that all active fixed-LTE users will receive free off-peak data from 1 December 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":229941,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[35,43716,45747],"class_list":["post-280023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wireless","tag-headline","tag-rain","tag-rain-lte"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280023"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280023"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280023\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":280025,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280023\/revisions\/280025"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Now read:\u00a0The cheapest way to call on Vodacom, MTN, and Cell C<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
