RAIN throttling clients and giving false promises and poor service

Since June 2020, I noticed that my download speeds are fine but my files do not download as expected, they take longer. I have been up and down with RAIN, they sent their technician who even mounted the device outside at got great speeds but still there was no difference. A clear indicator that this is on my accounts/I have been throttled , and not the device is one of the technicians used his sim card in my device and the speeds were what is expected, I used my sim card in his device, and I had limited speeds. Do not be fooled by the speed tests, that just shows what speeds one CAN achieve, check the detail section on you device homepage to see real speeds, I am capped to 4mbps. The worst part is I asked Ibrahim while signing up and he assured me there is no throttling and it is uncapped, unshaped This has been goin on for way too long

This impacts my work, I am working from home, hosting meetings and virtual environments meaning I keep losing connection to clients and having data loss which is detrimental to my line of work

Reviewer Update
So now after the last review, I was contacted by Ms Tess to assist me, and we had to go through what she and I had gone through already, this is so frustrating, I already explained what the issue is and she sends me the terms and conditions of the package I am on , telling me that I am on a 30 Meg package and my speeds are above 30, yet I have made it abundantly clear to her that the speeds indicate 30 but the actual download is capped at 4. I even had sent her screenshots with all the details.
Now I upgraded to the premium package to test and see where the issue may arise
1) as by the time of sending this review, it has been almost 24 hours and I am still on standard package
2) since yesterday I have not been able to connect to , I was contacted by Thabiso yesterday, all his troubleshooting did not help he promised to have a technician on site by ***21. I also for the second time requested Tess to call me. Tess has not called me until now, and I got an email saying the technician will come on ***1. this will be over 36 hours with no internet.
I wonder what kind of service this is
