What to look for

  • Full fibre (FTTP) for the most stable latency.
  • 100 Mbps download as a sensible minimum; 500 Mbps if you download large games regularly.
  • Upload matters for streaming and party chat, full fibre is usually much better here.
  • Avoid traffic-managed packages and capped plans.

FAQ

Does broadband speed reduce ping?

Only up to a point. Beyond about 100 Mbps, latency depends more on routing and your line type than raw speed. Full fibre tends to be more consistent.

Is 5G home broadband good for gaming?

It can be, when signal is strong, but latency varies more than fixed-line full fibre. Treat it as a fallback rather than a first choice for competitive gaming.
