hey everybody!

So I will be moving to a complex in March that has fibre internet at the ready and I am a bit new to fibre.

I game a lot on the Xbox One and PS4 and I am wondering what ISP would be best for online gaming?

I also game on EU servers a lot since I have friends in the UK who I play with.

Just wondering which ISP would be best for this?

I had a look at Cool Ideas so far, since they seem to be the cheapest, but are they good for online gaming?

TT Connect handles the fibre in the complex I am moving to.

Most of our capacity lands in London, network is great for gaming :).
 
Well you want to make sure you get one that doesn't shape their packages...
Some of the uncapped providers do shape..
But also i've seen the providers say things like "semi-shaped" ???

I'm gonna be moving into the flat on 1st of Feb instead of March (signing the lease this Saturday). How long would it take for you guys to install?

The Fibre is already there by TT Connect, it just needs to be brought into the flat.

TT Connect says 21 working days from when they receive the order from the ISP in a fibre live environment like this.

Hmmm, I may have to ask my new landlord about asking them to install it a little early then so by the time it hits Feb, it will hopefully be ready lol.

I forgot my torrents uploading for a full day at 5.5MB/s. No shaping from Cool Ideas. Felt guilty as hell though! (Sorry CISP)

Lol I haven't used a torrent in years! Kinda against piracy since my job is to help make games (which also get pirated). Most of my downloads come from Xbox live (downloading games on digital and updates).

No shaping and working on caching all XBOX and PSN games internally on our network.

No need to feel guilty our upload capacity maxes out at around 15%
