Broadband built for gamers
Connexin full fibre is built for gamers who take their connection seriously. Low ping, stable speeds, and no lag when it counts. Proper broadband that performs under pressure.
Is full fibre broadband better for gaming?
Full fibre gaming broadband delivers fewer interruptions, smoother gameplay and a connection you can rely on every day. Old copper broadband wasn’t built for modern online gaming. Full fibre is. With full fibre:
Speeds stay more consistent, even at peak times
Latency is lower and more predictable
Performance doesn’t degrade as usage increases
How much broadband speed do gamers really need?
Online gaming doesn’t always need ultra-fast speeds; however, modern games usually require large downloads and updates. Higher speeds mean less waiting and fewer bottlenecks, especially in busy homes. As a rule of thumb:
100-200Mbps covers casual online play
300-500Mbps suits competitive gaming
1000Mbps is ideal for serious gaming households
1000Mbps+ gives you headroom for heavy use and future-proofing
What makes Connexin broadband good for gaming?

Recommended add‑ons for gamers
Router upgrades (from £4.99/pm)
Upgrading your router can improve Wi-Fi coverage and multi-device performance. Choose our Boost router for medium-sized homes for £4.99/pm or upgrade to our Blast router for high-demand households. Blast is built to handle full fibre speeds up to 5Gbps, delivering stronger performance and more consistent speeds across your home from £10/pm.
Total Control (£4.99/pm)
Perfect for busy households. Total Control lets you manage bandwidth by device and user in the Connexin app. You can prioritise your console or gaming PC, limit background usage on other devices, and keep performance consistent when it matters most.
Static IP (£4.99/pm)
Best suited for serious gamers. A static IP gives you a fixed IP address rather than one that changes periodically, which can be useful for gamers who host servers, use remote access tools, or rely on consistent connectivity for specific online services, such as Ubisoft.
Wi-Fi Boosters (from £4.99/pm)
Designed to extend Wi-Fi coverage where distance, thick walls or multiple floors affect performance. Our Bounce Wi-Fi Boosters help deliver a stronger, more reliable connection in hard-to-reach areas, ideal if your console or PC isn’t close to your router. Available as 1, 2 or 3 booster options to suit your home.

Gaming broadband FAQs
Can Connexin Wi-Fi handle gaming on multiple devices?
Yes, Connexin broadband is built to support multiple gamers in the same household. That includes consoles and PCs gaming at the same time, cloud gaming, voice chat, and downloads running in the background. Higher speeds and smart network controls help keep performance stable, even when others are streaming, working or scrolling.
Is wired or Wi-Fi better for gaming?
A wired Ethernet connection offers the lowest latency and most stable performance, making it the best option where possible. That said, modern Wi-Fi can still deliver excellent results with the right setup. Connexin’s router upgrades and Wi-Fi boosters help reduce interference and keep speeds consistent for wireless gaming.
Is Connexin broadband good for competitive gaming?
Yes. Connexin’s full fibre network is designed for speed, reliability and low latency, all of which are essential for competitive play. With consistent performance and optional controls to manage household usage, it’s well-suited to ranked matches, tournaments and serious gaming sessions.
Does Wi‑Fi affect ping when gaming?
It can. Wired Ethernet offers the lowest latency, but strong Wi‑Fi with a good router and boosters can still deliver excellent performance.
Is full fibre better than standard broadband for gaming?
Yes, full fibre is more stable, delivers more consistent speeds and keeps latency lower, especially at peak times.
Do gamers need a static IP?
Most gamers don’t. A static IP is useful if you host servers, use advanced network setups, or require access to specific online services, but it’s optional for everyday gaming.
Can multiple people game at the same time on Connexin broadband?
Yes, Connexin full fibre is designed to handle multiple gamers, devices and activities at once without slowing things down.
