Quick verdict
For gaming, look for low ping, low jitter and low loaded latency. A stable 100 Mbps full fibre line can feel better than a much faster connection with lag spikes.

| Hyperoptic | Fast full fibre | Strong option where available, especially for flats and urban areas. |
| Community Fibre | Fast full fibre in London | Good fit for London gamers where coverage exists. |
| Vodafone Full Fibre | Value full fibre | Good value if full fibre is available at your address. |
| Plusnet | Simple value | Worth comparing for cost-conscious gaming households. |
