Looking for alternative network
I'm on rain 5G 60mbs. R739.00. I moved to Potchefstroom 3 weeks ago and have not exceed 9mbs upload, not once. During loadsheding not network, which means 50% of the time I'm paying for no service. Can someone at rain in charge call me to resolve this.

09 Jan 2023, 12:25Please try logging into your router interface (Huawei - http://192.168.8.1/) | ZTE/Oppo - http://192.168.0.1/ - password on the sticker underneath the device.), then follow the provided steps to change your network selection to 5G standalone:
· Huawei: Network Settings, Mobile network searching, change network mode to “SA”
· ZTE: 5G settings (Make sure 5G is toggled off) -> Network selection - > Change to “5G SA”
· Oppo: Advance settings - > Network settings -> Change network mode to “5G only (SA)”
This will allow your device to latch to 5G towers more efficiently.
Then follow the provided steps to see your router's signal readings:
· Huawei: Advanced -> System -> Device information -> Scroll down
· ZTE: Advanced settings -> Other -> Network Information
· Oppo: Home page -> scroll down
You will see your RSRP (signal strength) and SINR (signal quality). Please move your device around to find a position that provides your router with optimal signal readings. Your RSRP value should be closer to -85dBm or lower, and your SINR value closer to +10dB or higher. Slight changes in positions in the same room will provide you with different signal readings, so please monitor your RSRP and SINR as you move the device around, then monitor your connection.
