Current Broadband is 2Degrees Fibre "unlimited" @ ~900Mb/s
Current "gaming" setup - somewhat limited see photo.
Fibre Pro would not just enable me to get into some gaming, but would provide other advantages, especially while working from home. Getting rid of CGNAT would also be a major plus if possible.
"What is your current broadband connection (xDSL, fibre, satellite, dial-up)": Stuff Fibre
"Do you have a gaming setup" Not as such
"How would a Fibre Pro connection improve your gaming?" I could start gaming, might need significant hardware upgrade though.

Current broadband is Fibre with Contact (Ive just found out it uses CGNAT :(
Gaming setup is as per the below, a entry level Acer. Well it's my step daughters, but maybe once my 7 month is older I can get back into gaming as well.
The Fibre pro would be great to help with faster speeds / better stability online gaming. As would the peripherals, they look awesome.

To be in to win you have to reply to this thread with an answer to these questions "What is your current broadband connection (xDSL, fibre, satellite, dial-up) and do you have a gaming setup? How would a Fibre Pro connection improve your gaming?" You get a second entry in the draw if you post a picture of your existing gaming setup.
Currently on Vodafone UFB, because they made me an exceptionally good offer awhile back and despite the customer service being really bad at times there's nothing wrong with their network.
We're a house of gamers, so we have not one but three gaming setups. As the only wage the younger gamers earn is paid by me, their rigs are mostly hand me downs. Winning this gear would be amazing (or hand me downs from the winner lol)

Current Broadband: Orcon VDSL Unlimited
Current Gaming : My PC, Frankenstein box made form 2nd had parts sourced from different places.
Advantages of Fibre: Lower Latency, higher bandwidth.
What is your current broadband connection : Fibre
do you have a gaming setup? Razer Blackwidow 2014 Unlit keyboard; Logitech G402 mouse; Sennheiser HD 6XXX heapohnes (no microphone); plain vanilla office chair. Dell W2343 24inch main monitor; Harmon Karmon SoundSticks desktop speakers; EVGA GeForce RTX 2060; AMD Ryzen 3600 CPU; 16 RAM; B550M motherboard
How would a Fibre Pro connection improve your gaming? I was an Orcon customer for a few years before pricing took me to another provider. My current provider's implementation of the Chorus Fibre 300 upgrade seems to me sometimes as slow as the old fibre 100 package despite what the internet speed test says; with dropouts and the occasional default back to 100 Mbps. I look forward to stable speeds with a reputable provider I can trust.
My existing gaming setup
"What is your current broadband connection (xDSL, fibre, satellite, dial-up) and do you have a gaming setup? How would a Fibre Pro connection improve your gaming?": Current provider is Spark fibre max. I do have a gaming setup. A fibre pro connection would improve my gaming by allowing me to have a more faster more stable connection in my sweaty gaming sessions.
Current broadband connection - slingshot gigantic fibre
Gaming setup - ol reliable PC
How would a fibre pro connection improve your gaming - lower latency so I can die faster and return to lobby on apex legends!
What an awesome opportunity from Orcon! Was with them from 2013-2016 on fibre, didn't get any special deal for signing up but was always good service and probably the best phone support out of any ISP when I did have to call them, by memory I only switched to Bigpipe for the slightly cheaper plan and one time static IP.
Anywho, not only do I not have any internet (just moved in, no job so living off credit card / mobile data which is surprisingly doable for online gaming!) but my office chair has fallen apart, so have a dining chair which gets very uncomfy after an hour or two lol.
Recently been getting into a bit of gaming and had some ex-office Macs and a Veon laying around for my setup. Not a bad GPU in it. Dual boot w/windows of course, and the other Mac takes cares of CCTV.
The mouse was free from e-waste (Apple Mouse no good for gaming!), the 'cool' RGB keyboard was free from a friend because some of the keys don't work (he was throwing it away, only had to change my password to make it all work lol). And got given this Kmart 'gaming mic' thingy the other day, which mostly just looks cool. And cheap earbuds which are falling apart. Suffice to say the Razer peripherals would be a huge upgrade and so perfectly suited that I'll probably just sign up to Orcon to get them assuming I don't win! :P
(Did have to make a new GZ account as haven't posted in 5+ years, hopefully can still be entered)
Cheers
