Have been on Bigpipe 200 for the past year with no issue's, but notice for the same price I can get Skinny 900.

 

Just wondering whats likely the difference I will notice? As a gamer, would the ping be any difference? Or anything i should think about that I have with BigPipe? I do have a static IP but not worried if I lose it.

No difference at the network level.

I'm on VDSL but can confirm there's no difference whatsoever. 

 

Other than the plan prices, the only differences between Skinny and Bigpipe are Bigpipe's extras (static IP, app etc). Even the support and billing systems are basically identical.

Think of telling your mates, you are using a BigPipe, rather than something thats Skinny!

 

 




The little things make the biggest difference.
