    I'm interested in changing to Pure Telecom to save some money.
    I was wondering are they ok for online gaming and using with your console?
    Do they have Open NAT or port forwarding on their routers?
    I don't know because I don't really do online gaming that much, I do download games a good bit though.
    I would like the freedom to do online gaming if I feel like it though.
    So if someone who is with Pure Telecom knows please let me know.

    Boards has gone completely dead lately.
    It looks like I won't find out anything here.
    I'll have to use my own judgement.

    Or, no one else here has pure telecom? No point in replying if we don't have the same provider, but remember there is a cooling off period, and say to them that you're specifically buying this for online gaming, so you need a low ping and a steady connection. Once this is on the recorded call, you have a get out clause if it's not sufficient for online gaming as you told them this is why you wanted it, and if it can't meet those needs, they are in breach of the contract.

    Saying that, it's the only help centre that includes steps on how to hook up your PS4/Xbone, so I'd say they are probably better at supporting it than VF, Eir, Virgin, etc.

    I have Pure Telecom living in Cork City. Apart from a couple of brief downtime issues (literally once or twice in the 3 years I've been with them) I can't fault them. Never had to ring them and complain or anything like that. Never had a problem playing online or downloading games and I do it every weekend.

    The only problems I've had with downloading games is Sony's shítty download speeds on the PS4. :pac:

    Had the same, have youconsidered a Lan cable to the PS4? I noticed 5 times the speed with it, instead of using the ****ty wifi found on the ps4
