Rain’s uncapped 4G customers should now be able to watch Netflix and YouTube videos at up to Full HD quality.

Rain has increased prices and removed streaming quality limits on several of its uncapped 4G and 5G products.Rain told MyBroadband the changes would reflect on existing customers’ December invoices for their November services.The price differences from the old packages range between R15 and R40, equating to increases of 4%–7%.

While this package’s maximum download and upload speeds have been kept at 10Mbps, the much-criticised 360p streaming cap has been removed. Rain’s off-peak 4G package price has increased from R250 to R265, while its 4G for phones product is now R319 per month, up from R299. The latter also sees its 360p video streaming quality limit scrapped.

The entry-level 5G offering — Rain 5G Basic — will now go up to a speed of 30Mbps, compared to the previous 25Mbps.
