Terrible, reviewed after a few years

Ive used rain for a few years now. Their unlimited 4g is slow has not improved. The connection is unstable in device and router. It cannot stream tiktok lives in a stable manner. Gaming is unreliable. Pings are super unstable. Disconnections and jammed networks are feequent. There are brief moment where it actually works nicely. The only good thing is youll have a unreliable uncapped network at a slow ass connection speed even on 4g +

For a direct comparison in both gaming and playstore speeds rain can fluctuate from anywhere from 250ms ping to 999ms and switching to mtn 4g gives a smooth buttery 50ms - 84ms ping. Playstore download speeds. Rain with say a 2gb file will let you download it in between 2.5 - 3.5 hours depends the netowork isnt stable. Mtn however same area etc same everything gives you the same download in just over an hour

Right now, another example at this moment tiktok streams are pathetic. The internet is moving at 45K/s lol max out at 108k....streaming movies at 360p is a unsure thing as cause the network is ALWAYS fluctuating mostly on the lower side sub 300k/s. Brief moments of 700 n 900 and briefer moments of 1.2mb plus lol this is 1 network to avoid.

Why do yourll give internet and work and then yourll like no. Youve had too much streaming for 10min we going to buffer you now for 30min wth guys!!!! Its terrible. For years now. You force me to set things to download versus stream. Loadshedding is more stable then yourlls internet service

Please sort out my internet as soon as possible. This is becoming terrible now. I can't use any games or twitch because of how poor the internet is here! As soon as you switch network to telkom mtn Vodacom, perfection. Rain and you'll be banging your head and throwing your phone in the bin!!!

Hi, it has been excellent this is what it should be like frustration free, thank you so much for sorting it out. it is also more more stable when connected to a overseas game server where the ping was on avg 350 - 450ms it is now 170ms on a overseas server which is better then even Mtns 230ms and 240. Local servers are on par at between 60ms and 100ms which is great and has been reliable thus far at maintaining 60 - 80ms. Thank you so much.

I will be trying twitch streams later while a 3rd person watches YouTube, our general data strains and will keep and eye and changing my review thus. Thank you so much for sorting it out and really quickly too. Internet pages are loading much much better then before, so far I've just tried gaming. And even call of duty is running buffer free now. Thank you

So I had a day's peace with the internet only at the speeds it should be at and then it went back to high pings where the games are unplayable you lose rank points because of this etc. Streaming is gone **** again I can't stream and play. Pings are back being unstable and high between 500 n 999ms

If you game and play ranked games don't use rain as it is very unstable. I've lost over 800 points alone to reconnection. 999ms pings fluctuating at random its poor. Even worse if it's for business and you need that reliable connection and speeds even worse if you a streamer for a living

60K/s and fluctuating every second to a max of 200K/s lucky to see 300/320K per second but mainly sub 130K/s trying to download from playstore. It not the 1st time playstore speeds on rains network has always been slow. Switch over to mtn, Telkom etc. You see a average of 800K/b - 2mb a second even sometimes it goes to 3.5mb a Second. But rain very rarely gives you that speed.

You must pray for a year to get those speeds for not even a day and the network limits you again once it's like whoa they actually being connected to the internet properly no we can't have that limit his internet this very second wth

Please see the above link with the streaming and playing on apex legends one of the most data efficient games as well. It uses so little bit of data it's surreal 500mb on mtn is enough for almost a day and a half of gaming.and those are my ping levels while streaming. Killing my stream only betters it by around 200 or 300k/b which is still not good cause the ping is always fluctuating 500 -999ms 😑😑😑😑

Hi, it may be so on your system but I have 3 out of 4 bars on my router and most of the time it sits on full signal. And 2. It doesnt mean that I will have poor performance all the time. i am more on the edge of mtns 4g network n it out performs so really the above isnt really a valid reason for such constant poor performance

Im also on the edge of telkom and it is really terrible in my room but again it out performs 90% of them time. So off my router at full signal it should not be unstable id expect that from a 2 bar connection with telkom but mostly better
