A new survey of 1,000 UK video gamers, which was commissioned by full fibre broadband ISP Hyperoptic<\/a>, has found that 44% of adult respondents named “the internet lagging<\/em>” as the most infuriating aspect of online gaming, while 27% also complained about other players’ slow online speeds.<\/p>\n

The survey revealed that respondents are now spending an average of 10.5 hours online gaming a week (up from 8 hours pre-lockdown) and more than half said the hobby has kept them entertained during this time (we assume the other half must have been either losing or playing a really boring game, since they aren’t mentioned). Meanwhile 43% said they found playing online had helped them to stay connected with others.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The survey was conducted for Hyperoptic<\/a> online by OnePoll.<\/div>\n

Naturally Hyperoptic<\/a> have a vested interest here since they’re selling access to a gigabit-capable broadband network, which will no doubt benefit from fast latency times and excellent speeds.<\/p>\n

Charles Davies, MD of Hyperoptic, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s clear from the research just how passionate and dedicated gamers are to their hobby, reflected by the time and money spent on it. Online gaming is a popular way of staying connected to others and conversing while playing at the same time.<\/p>\n

More than half of the gamers polled said decent Wi-Fi is important to them due to the amount of time they spend online gaming and we feel life is too short for lagging when playing. This is why full fibre connectivity is so important for gamers who want to get the most out of their play without interruptions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As usual we have to caveat that, as wonderful as a full fibre connection is, it is not essential for a smooth online gaming experience. Most digital connections since the ISDN era have been able to return fairly fast latency times (fast ping) and the vast majority of existing broadband connections are more than capable. Multiplayer gaming itself is actually a very low bandwidth service.<\/p>\n

On the other hand modern games do tend to be increasingly large in size and there’s nothing more annoying than logging in to find yet another 2-10GB patch awaiting to be downloaded before you can play. In that sense the faster you can download such updates, the better, but this won’t have much of an impact on the game itself.<\/p>\n

Lest we forget that there are other factors to consider here too, such as the capability of the router you’re using (WiFi<\/a> performance etc.), as well as the server for the game you’re connecting to (many ping issues can also be caused by the server or other users on that server), the desire for your ISP to adopt optimal routing \/ peering arrangements and the need for an uncongested network etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
