I'm currently on a 1 gigabit fibre connection (fibre/coaxial hybrid) which has served me well over the past year, getting around ~900mbit down/~500mbit up and sub-5ms latency on local servers. This has been great for standard internet usage, 4k on-demand media, cloud storage etc. But when it comes to gaming, or low-latency/variance needs, my service experience plummets and ends up being just far too inconsistent to enjoy.
I've been looking at other ISPs in-market with some impressive offerings, the best providing premium services aimed at gamers, tech enthusiasts and the like. I have wondered if there is any true value realised on the consumer-end - people who pay some large premiums for these types of services. This led to some other burning questions that I thought I'd ask here.
Does it all come down to a service that offers benefits like: high DL/UL throughput, static IPs, no throttling, uncapped data, dedicated "to-the-home" connections, low latency/packet jitter, custom interleaving settings?
Is there anything that is yet to be introduced to market that may benefit gamers now and into the future (VR/AR applications etc.)?
Is the ideal gaming connection any different from the ideal internet connection?
