Poll: Gamers, how are you connected?

[manbearpig]

Wireless, I get around 10-30ms ping on CSS though. I would prefer wired but my mum wont let me.

 

[eggcup]

Wired direct to router here too

 

[LeJosh]

Wired straight to the router, don't have a reciever on my PC and don't care for wireless.

 

[LeJosh]

Double post.

I live in the 21st century, so I go wireless.

*looks for troll smilie*

I've never been much of an online gamer, but wireless latency never seemed to plague me in the few online obsessions that I have had, such WoW, Forza Motorsport 2/3 and Battlefield Vietnam. My lack of skill was more of a handicap to be honest.

Wired for anything stationary on the network. Even the Wii. Only use wireless for phones and laptops/netbooks.

Have used homeplugs before. Find them very hit and miss depending on the house. Had one issue where I'd get dropped from the network if the fridges compress started.

 

[Dj_Jestar]

Wireless and have no problems.

 

[Pudney]

Been wireless for years. The only time I've been wired was with a BT hub that caused so many issues that I went back to wireless with it. Never had any issues with lag.

 

[bhavv]

I have to use wireless

Yes it sucks.

 

[dekez]

Wired, for both the PC and PS3

 

[Sin_Chase]

Wired.

 

[Parsley]

I'm wired to a router but a friend of mine has been using a wired connection via the mains for a few years now. His pings are just as good as mine!

 

[trickycurve]

Wireless, but only because my dad won't allow a wired solution to be permanently implemented. The route I'd have to run the cable to my room also isn't ideal. I'm not fussed, though, I mostly get good or excellent signal strength and haven't had any issues gaming online.

Wired and powerline

Virgin cable modem => 200 mbps powerline => virgin router => 2 pc's and laptop all works perfectly, I have 20mb cable and consistently I can get 17-20mb according to speedtest.net and ping is allways very good absolutely no issues with the powerline adapters been using them for nearly 2 years now and still going strong.

Wireless. Not had many issues with it, though in one game (Dystopia) I get huge lag spikes, but no others. Would go wired if I could, but I'm on the opposite side of the house to the router, so its not feasible

 

[Judgeneo]

I've been waiting for a poll.

Wired, the wireless on the stock virgin media router is terrible Although I'd likely still be wired, its just easier

 

[QlimaxUK]

[Betamax-]

[Munkyman]

Completely wireless and never had any problems.

 

[VaderDSL]

Wireless here, although the distance from my router to antenna is about 50 cm so I saw no issues at all in games.
