Hi all,
We do a lot of online gaming Ps3/Ps4 in our household.
I'm a new customer - 'Copper BB'.
With Plusnet SafeGuard - is it likely that it affects pings in some way - putting us at a competitive disadvantage?
Q1: What affect does 'SafeGuard' have on download speed, upload speed - latency & ping?
Q2: Will turning it off make a difference?

Fibre would improve all of your desired features.
You could always turn Safeguard off for a while to see if it makes a noticeable difference.

Appreciate the advice on this.
It seems quite clear the only way to be sure is to try and see. I'll be waiting till our initial DLM run has finished - then will try with it off and on at different times - then report back.
