How gaming broadband could give you the edge

Fast download and upload speeds and a low latency connection is the dream combo.

Speed: Livestreaming is all about sharing your wins and fails in real time. Doing that is harder if your connection keeps slowing down, so choose reliable gaming broadband with strong upload speeds.
Accuracy: Latency makes a big difference to online gaming. Having less of a delay in your connection can help you with landing more skill shots on enemy players and taking your gaming more seriously.

Stealth: Gaming broadband should support everyone, with enough speed for others to stream and use the internet, undisturbed by your gaming. And for you to play videos in the background of your game.
