It’s not just online gaming that can be affected by a poor NBN connection. Big-name games for PC, PlayStation and Xbox often require huge downloads (many AAA-games are now over 100GB) before you can play them. While you first need to make sure you have enough storage space on your console to store the downloads, ideally you’re also going to want a fast NBN connection to ensure your games download as quickly as possible.
The best NBN plans to ensure fast game downloads, then, are going to be NBN 250 and NBN 1000. These only work on fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) and some hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) connections, so if you connect to the NBN with any other connection type, then the best you can expect to get is an NBN 100 plan.
