Are there any gamers using the fibre connection from PlusNet?
I've ordered 80/20 Fibre which gets installed in 10 days, and have been doing a bit of reading. Some articles seem to point to latency being higher than it can be on copper. I wondered if anyone has got any real world experience of what it's like gaming on fibre.
I'm hoping its better than my average 100+ms response times on my Xbox.
While I'm hard wired to my netgear router, the various threads on wireless performance on the Thompson routers is interesting reading too. Although that's a little off-topic here I guess.
Cheers
Griff

Unless you're a long way from your cabinet (>>500m) you are likely to be very pleased with FTTC for gaming (and all other internet activities).

I wonder if staying with adsl if your line is good could some how benefit online-gaming.
Maybe due to the data being handled differently on FTTC, the server ratio on the dsl side of things could improve.
Could a FTTC exchange benefit adsl users? and how?
