Shocking Service (1 out of 10 rating)
I have been using RAIN since the president announced we are going into lockdown. Their networks when it works, God forbid you ever have network issues then there are nowhere to be found. This has consistently been my issue with this company. My recent issue is still related to the same issue - none existence when you need their help with their products and service. I am somehow expected to get answers from the holy ghost or my ancestors. I had slow network issues with my long time outdoor router, slow connection. I did not call them for about a week hoping it resolves itself and quiet honestly did not want to call them because I knew I wasn't going to get the assistance I expect unfortunately I eventually had to call them. Instead of fixing the issue with my connection and the router I had - they insisted on selling the new product called "the 101" I was told this will be a rocket and will resolved on my issues that was last week Fri 28th. I told them I had no faith in the solution and in fact had been sold another device a long time ago as a rocket too which turned out to be a tricycle. No the sales person said - you can cancel the account you have on this old outdoor router on Monday the 31st because that's how much faith they had on this 101. It's the 4th Apr 2025 and I have no working internet connection. I am a week behind on my work. All I have done is waste my time and airtime calling "Rain". I have spent a lot on data for me to be able to attend meetings and all this while "Rain" is nowhere to be found. (1) Called them Monday the 31st Mar - cancelled my old account and told them I had received new unit but had intermittent connection - agent said it takes up to 24 hrs for the device to stabilise - ok! (2)Called on the 1st Apr agent did a few thing and said his escalating the issue and I never got any call on that Tuesday until. (3) I called them again and insisted on this escalations department after that agent tried to do what we had been doing for days - switch router off - move it the and move it there. They finally called me and did pretty much the same - switch router off - move it the and move it there. Eventually I asked that they call me later in the day as I had to attend meetings. I asked for 15:00hrs. She called at around 16:30hrs, I was on the road and asked she held as i was about to get into the house in about 5mins - she insisted on hanging up and calling back in 10mins. It's Friday today she still has not called me a day and a half later. This is a person meant to be a level higher than the call centre agents doing this. (4) I have called again today Friday the 4th Apr and asked for management and that was this morning - it's now almost end of today and I have very little faith anyone will be calling me back. This is a company it seems have got no care about their clients and their staff is not aligned in terms of the information they share with us as clients. All 3/4 agents I chatted to gave me differing suggestions and contradicted in many aspect each other.
We're really sorry your rain experience hasn't been as good as you expected.
We're going to get on this asap.
Thank you.

Thank you for the call and the above feedback on the Samsung TV and Nokia C1. As I mentioned I do have another phone the Samsung Galaxy A05 that too does not connect to the 5G. As I said - all android devices are not connecting to the 5G.
I refuse to accept that a 2021 Samsung tv is not 5G comportable whereas a 2014 iphone 6 is. I will take your word for it for now and I'll reach out to Samsung for a confirmation.
I am not convinced of your finding purely because all of these devices were connected to a Rain 5G network for years (TV for months) using the outdoor router HUAWEI 5G N5368X - I was advised to upgrade to the 101 5G smart router and suddenly my devices are not 5G comportable - I'm sure you can understand if that make no sense to me.
At this point this is not an upgrade - we have spent over a week and numerous calls costing me money and time only to be told that it's my devices. As i said I will reach out to Samsung and give you feedback.
HAVE YOU MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE NETWORK, OR TOWER OR SOMETHING. I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING SINCE WE CHATTED YESTERDAY. IT IS UP AND DOWN I HAVE NOW CONNECTED MY MAC TO THE 2.4 EVEN THAT IS NOT STABLE.

Please note Samsung TVs are not designed to connect to 5G cellular networks, but they can connect to 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks.

Please can we fix that. Then we can look at all the other device connection issues - I need internet first.

It's been more than a week with this new unit. Fact that you now want to chat on messages simply tell me you all are just as tired on this as I am.
I will be cancelling this new service on the 101 unit. I cannot keep doing this.

Has there been any feedback?
I am suddenly facing serious intermittent connections again as of this afternoon (21 Apr 25) since we last spoke on the 11 Apr 2025.
It feels like the first it is now connected to a tower too far from me again, could you please look into and assist with this.

I had a very busy day today and couldn't try the suggested steps above and whatever the above agent had doe seemed to have worked as the connection was and has been stable all day - until now that I have restarted the router as suggested.
I have just restarted the router and now the connection has become very intermittent - I cannot even run a speedtest.
I feel it has reconnected to far away towers again. Please could you check that foe me again.
QUESTION: When I followed up on my above message - asking whether has there been any feedback given - the agent I had chatted to had escalated this very issue of the router not latching and sticking to the nearer towers that you agent s keep connecting to.
The above agent has just ignored me on that part and just checked the tower.
I ask again - what has the investigation into this issue yielded? The issue was escalated on the 11 of April and not for the first time. Probably 4th if not 5th time escalating and since the beginning of the month till now no one has given me an exact answer as to what is being done to resolve this issue.

The line was very bad so I asked the agent who picked up my call to ring me back and she said she would do so in 5 mins and that was before 11am this morning still I wait for that call back.
I had my phone in front of my eyes all day waiting for the so called call back that's why I am confident you did not call back, nor do I have missed calls from the 081 rain number.

I have been well ok for a while now I suppose it is probably due to the changes you made.
Suddenly this morning every click leads to a buffer. I am loosing my mind, I suspect the device is now connected further once again.
Please could you help.
