What is a good Internet speed for gaming?

Internet speed for gaming is measured in Mbps, or megabits per second, which is the amount of data that’s transferred in one second.

How many Mbps do I need for gaming?

While the exact number of Mbps you need may vary depending on the type of games you play and the number of devices used on the network at a given time, we recommend our GigaFast Internet for gaming. This gives you an incredible speed of 1000 megabits per second to support multiple players and devices at once.

What is a good upload speed for gaming?

Upload speed is the amount of time it takes to send data from your gaming system to the server. You can try 500 Mbps to see if that satisfies your needs, or go with the fastest option of 1 Gig to 2.5 Gig service to ensure the best gaming experience.



Test your Internet speed for gaming to see if your current connection is fast enough to support the ultimate gaming experience. The results of your gaming speed test will indicate the type of improvement you may need.

What is a good download speed for gaming?

The opposite of uploading, downloading speed measures the time it takes to get data from your server to your gaming system. Go with the fastest service available from the start, or try 500 Mbps, and if you’re experiencing lag or latency, you can upgrade to the 1 Gig service.

Latency in gaming

Latency, often referred to as ‘ping’ in the gaming world, is the amount of time (measured in milliseconds) it takes for your gaming system and server to communicate. Low latency or ping is ideal, so your gameplay isn’t interrupted by a lag in response time. So, if you’re using a controller or mouse to perform actions in a game, you want to see those actions happen on the screen as quickly as possible for smooth gameplay.

Streaming and live play

While some gamers enjoy playing solo, many opt for playing with others in their virtual world. This type of live play lets you engage in a game with friends no matter where they are for an interactive experience. If you want to livestream your gaming for viewers to watch, you’ll need reliable gamer Internet connectivity to keep your audience captivated. In both cases, low latency and lag time are essential for a positive gaming experience.

Gaming devices

There are lots of ways to game, but the best gaming WiFi can support a variety of devices, including gaming consoles, PCs, mobile devices, and advanced setups with headsets for player interaction. And, the more devices you have running at once, the more Mbps you’ll need. We can help you select a gamer-grade Internet plan that works for how you play.
