Broadband for Gaming

For the best gaming experience, we recommend our 1gbps broadband plan. These speeds deliver fast, reliable connections ideal for smooth gameplay, quick downloads, and high-quality streaming.

If you game more casually and don’t have heavy data use throughout the house, our 150Mbps and 500Mbps plans are also great options. They provide solid performance for most games and can comfortably support everyday internet use across your devices.

Ping measures how quickly your device can communicate with a game server. A lower ping means less lag and smoother, more responsive gameplay.

Your broadband connection plays a big role in keeping ping low. A high-speed, reliable plan like our 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps options can help reduce delays and keep your connection stable, especially during fast-paced or competitive online games.

Lag is the delay between when you take an action in a game and what actually happens on screen. It can make gameplay feel slow or unresponsive, like when you press a button but your character moves a second later.

Data usage varies depending on the game. Fast-paced games like first person shooters and high-graphic RPGs typically use a large amount of data, while slower-paced games use much less.

Game downloads, updates, and streaming gameplay can use much more data, sometimes several gigabytes at a time.

If you game often or share your connection with others streaming or downloading, a high-speed broadband connection can help ensure smooth, uninterrupted play without worrying about data limits or lag.

Full fibre broadband (FTTP) is best for gaming due to its speed, reliability and low latency. All of our broadband plans are full fibre with symmetrical speeds and are great for gaming.
