My current Fibre connection is 2Degrees 100/20.

A Fibre pro connection would speed up the downloads for what little gaming time I have.

My current gaming set-up is in my WFH office or the consoles in the lounge tucked away from the baby.

Stuff Fibre gigabyte, and if by gaming setup you mean a server in the basement, yes... replacing the handme down keyboard and mouse from work would be a great start

Rural Wireless via Spark.... no fibre or VDSL available, ADSL used to max out around 2.5Mbps.  Rural WBB had us up to 54Mbps at first although it's slowed a bit with more uptake.

 

Downside is the data cap.

 

No gaming set-up unless you count the odd burst of Angry Birds on my phone!

300 Mbps fibre from Sky/Vocus but still getting lots of lag.  Just can't figure out the bottleneck.

What is your current broadband connection (xDSL, fibre, satellite, dial-up)?

 

Spark UFB

 

My gaming setup?

 

 

How would a Fibre Pro connection improve your gaming?

 

I'm not sure if anything can beat Dandy Cowboy. Although I do keep an open mind to new things.

My current broadband is Orcon Unlimited Gigantic Fibre, and I'm very happy with it!

 

I mainly game on my PS5, which is hooked into the fibre via Powerline ethernet, so I doubt Fibre Pro would make that much difference.

 

I do game a bit on my office PC these days as a break from WFH, so a decent gaming setup there would be great.

I'm on fibre with 2 Degrees.

 

Current gaming setup - iPad (mostly used by kids)

 

A Fibre Pro connection would probably not improve my gaming, but my kids might want to upgrade to a better setup to take advantage of it.

Slingshot 1GB/500Mb

 

I don't game but have a household of devices for the kids - they probably do, when not discussing weird YouTubers, watching Roblox run throughs, or TikTok dances, or spreading Shrek memes.

 

Maybe I should just shut the whole thing down.

What is your current broadband connection (xDSL, fibre, satellite, dial-up): Fibre
and do you have a gaming setup? somewhat but man my office chair is beyond lame, gas strut just drops.

How would a Fibre Pro connection improve your gaming? Download those sweet new tiltes all that faster, also stop the kids from hogging the bandwidth.

 

did you say draw your gaming setup?
