Unstable signal, Unprofessional service

I have been using Rain for the past year and a half. I'm on the Unlimited 4G package for R479 per month which is supposed to have up to 10mb/s download speed. I have never had 10mb/s download speed but it was good enough for downloading games or programs(between 0.2kb/s and 1.2mb/s, as the signal is very unstable) and streaming movies. February I had to lodge a complain with Rain after the signal became so bad that I could not even stream a movie without constant buffering. They gave me a call and after explaing the problem to the technical department, the signal was better the next day but it did not last long. I have been patiently using the very unstable wifi untill about a month ago when the signal went from very unstable to unbearable. I lodged a complaint again about 3 weeks ago.....no answer....not even an acknowledgement of receipt of my complaint untill today(16 July 2022). I find this very unprofessional from a major internet service provider. I can not continue to pay for a service that I can not use properly. I am currently looking for the best alternative service provider so that I can switch. PS. The problem is not on my side as I have got a good router. I have tested other network SIM cards in the router and they work 100%.

Hi  Thomas 

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, rain.

Update...

5 Days later and no change at all. After Rain's private reply saying they will refresh my connection and escalate the problem to their technical department, their has not been any improvement. The signal actually seems worse than 5 Days ago.
They obviously don't care about their customers, so I'm done....

Since yesterday afternoon my signal seems to be back to normal again. Thank you to Mpho Ponoane for your assistance and going out of your way to ensure that my connection was sorted out.

Apologies for the last reply. It was posted in the wrong review. I do not have Rain anymore
