The best kind of internet for gaming is fiber for its fast speeds, low latency and zero network congestion. Your next best bet is cable. DSL is the slowest form of internet.
Better speeds generally result in better performance, but the most important features for gaming are your connection type and latency.
Yes. Fiber transmits data as pulses of light, whereas cable transmissions rely on vintage copper networks. Fiber networks also have less latency, less network congestion even at peak times of the day and equally fast upload and download speeds.
Latency, also known as lag, is when data is delayed. It’s calculated by ping, or the amount of time it takes for data on your device to reach the network. You can gauge your latency by running a speed test, which will tell you your ping speed. A ping in the low single digits is ideal for gaming.
WiFi gaming can use a large amount of bandwidth, which can slow down your game as well as the other devices on your network. Likewise, other devices on your network can slow down the game, which will result in lag. To improve this experience, use a WiFi gaming router or connect your device directly to an ethernet cable.
A good router on the newer side will definitely perform better than an older router. If you rent your router, you can inquire about an upgrade, or you can buy your own, like the Ziply Fiber WiFi 6.
Because Ziply Fiber uses fiber rather than cable or DSL, it will inherently be better for gaming because of its low latency. Fiber also comes with the benefit of equally fast upload and download speeds and zero network congestion (unlike cable or DSL). Fiber is a future-proof technology, too, so you can count on it working well into the future even as gaming becomes more sophisticated. Ziply Fiber offers a range of speed plans from 50 Mbps to 10 Gig.
