Any gamers using this?

Hi All, looks like not many people are using this yet, but do any of.you who are use it for online gaming? If.you are have you had any issues?

Many thanks

Just started using it, so far I don't seem to have any issues, but it is early days yet.

Thanks very.much, that is reassuring at least.

I'll endeavour to update this thread occasionally so we can keep track of gaming performance. At present, there are too few userrs to get meaningful stats.

Using what exactly? A link to it would be an idea as most of us aren't telepathic or can't find out via a crystal ball

Sorry - using Vodafones fibre broadband offering, as we are considering switching to them. Specifically for gaming via PC.

Oh i see , re their routing /peering ect. i thought it could be some new software /hardware

could someone kindly post a traceroute to microsoft as this is where Halo 5 and Black Ops 3 servers are hosted (well from the console) but i know from PC is hosted via choopa

I said i'd update this when I had the chance, and after a year, I can probably say with some confidence that they're... ok

Frankly I;ve had more issues with the router being not amazing than I have as a gaming platform. Certainly no worse than, say, virgin's equivalent cable offering.

I've been using Vodafone for a week now and would say I'm quite satisfied. Ping times are a fraction lower than with Plusnet, and I've found the supplied router to be competent.

Great value for the money.

We switched on Tuesday, and after initial issues - turns out they were blocking steam and the NVidia software being used to record games. Call to their helpdesk got that all sorted and we are away. So far so good:

Was nice to find the helpdesk actually helpful unlike our experiences with BT previously

Why would they block this in the first place?

was it a router issue or them actually blocking it?

Sorry meant to respond somehow didn't managed to do so.

No idea! As to whether it was something Hubby could have controlled himself on the router, possible (as he got confused as to which was the password for Admin access printed on the router) but I was given the impression not.
