Just wanted to find out from you guys what it is like for gaming? Obviously I don't expect it to be of the same quality as ADSL or fibre, but I don't want to sign on for 24 months if it isn't at least ok...
 
Hey, Im using the 2Mbp package, and works well for me with Xbox Live.
I dont have any issues with latency at all..
I am pretty close to the Antenna, but due to alot of trees in my area - i get around 3 signal bars with an external antenna.

RSSI (dBm): -82.0
RSRP (dBm): -106.0
RSRQ (dB): -7.0

If i use a better antenna, those number will drop :)
 
I have the 10Mbps Wireless and I use it mostly just for gaming. I play Call of duty(all of them) and it is perfect. Had a small lan party with 6 people and no problem at all. No Lag or any other problem with the 10Mbps wireless.
 
Took the plunge and just went for it. Decided to start off by testing the 2 Mbps Uncapped package. Some quick Speedtest results below.

Basically it's pretty impressive so far. You'd be hard-pressed to tell the latency apart from ADSL. In fact in some ways it's better than ADSL, as you don't lose any speed to overheads, and get the full speed that you pay for (even to international destinations).

Haven't tested gaming as yet, will report back when I do...
