Current connection is with Full Flavour 900/400 so no issues there.

But the gaming package ‘wood’ be a great start!

What is your current broadband connection?
2Degrees Gigabit Fibre

 

do you have a gaming setup?

 

Yup! Got a full AMD setup 3600/5700xt, and you can even see a Razer Goliath mousepad in the photo and an assortment of logitech and corsair devices, so some synergy would be good.

 

How would a Fibre Pro connection improve your gaming?"
Low latency and proper routing is always good because in NZ we're always playing in Aus eastern servers for the population.

Low latency will improve my experience with online gaming.

I currently have fibre

My current gaming setup is either a 6 year old laptop, or my I phone

If I won this prize it would give me the incentive to buy a better computer to improve my gaming

Do you have a gaming setup?
Just a desk with a Nintendo Switch connected into HD60 Pro on my PC for random Pokemon Unite bouts and the good MMORPG Mix on PC.

Always praying for that God tier latency for PVP. Are you the one?!

Currently using Vodafone 300/100 Fibre.
My gaming setup is currently awaiting the return of sensibly priced graphics cards so it can play modern games.
Fibre Pro probably wouldn't help until I wire my house with CAT6

Current broadband connection: skinny Fibre unlimited

 

 

 

Gaming setup: negligible (5 year old i5 laptop with clip to keep screen attached 😕)

 

 

 

Fibre Pro wouldn't improve my gaming, but my son (16 years old) would love it for his Roblox games!

What is your current broadband connection (xDSL, fibre, satellite, dial-up) and do you have a gaming setup?
Vodafone Fibre Unlimited, PS5/PS4, no PC gaming currently.

How would a Fibre Pro connection improve your gaming?

Quicker speeds meaning more responsive game play and fewer dropouts.

Current Broadband: Starlink Satellite and ADSL backup

 

Current Gaming : My PC that is used for software development (but does have Razer keyboard and mouse)

 

Advantages of Fibre: Lower Latency which is always good.

Current BB is Skinny 'Wireless'

 

Gaming setup is non existant but I'm working on it !

 

Fibre Pro would be far faster than my current connection with much lower latency so Gaming would improve a lot. Currently I don't play many games for those reasons.
