Optimise for Gaming
Crush Lag and Stabilise Your Connection
Bufferbloat - Small Changes, Big Wins
Bufferbloat can quietly undermine even the fastest rural internet, causing sudden spikes in latency that make everyday tasks feel frustrating. When it strikes, video calls stutter, online games lag.
This optimisation service targets the root cause by reshaping how your network handles traffic, keeping latency optimised even when your connection is busy. The result is a smoother, more responsive online experience for gaming, remote video calls, and work.

Understanding Bufferbloat
Bufferbloat happens when oversized queues inside routers and modems delay packets instead of releasing them immediately. These queues fill rapidly during uploads or heavy traffic, causing latency to spike from a few milliseconds to hundreds.
Real‑time traffic like gaming, VoIP and video calls gets stuck behind bulk data, creating jitter, rubber‑banding and audio dropouts even when bandwidth is plentiful.
🧰
What’s Included in the Optimisation
This service applies targeted latency and bandwidth controls directly within your external dish, reshaping how traffic flows through your network to prevent queues from building up.
The process includes configuring smart queue management to prioritise real‑time packets, setting upload and download shaping to keep latency stable under load, so gaming, VoIP and video calls remain smooth even when other devices are busy.

How is this applied to your dish?
We’ll visit your home (assuming local) and having connected to your dish, install the add-on.
⏱️
How long will this take?
Typically under 30 minutes. A cuppa is always welcomed 😉

Verifying the Performance Improvement
Once optimisation is complete, we verify the improvement by testing your connection under load. Using trusted tools from WAVEFORM, we compare before‑and‑after latency, jitter and queueing to demonstrate how much more stable and responsive your internet becomes during gaming, calls and everyday use.
Here’s a real world example of results, before bufferbloat add-on was applied, and after.
Before - Grade F
Key metrics, obviously the grade F. However also note how latency increases from 41ms to +106ms under a download situation and +427ms when an upload is present.
After - Grade A
Boom – Grade A! Here we can see latency both under download and upload has significantly dropped.

Are there any compromises?
Well, there are often trade-offs in life. So if you look carefully, you’ll note both maximum download and upload speeds are less than before bufferbloat optimisation was introduced.
This works because we apply personalised bandwidth shaping based on the real speeds your connection can achieve – at peak times, during normal use, and when the network is congested. By creating the right amount of bandwidth overhead, real‑time traffic such as gaming, video calls and remote work tools can move freely without getting stuck behind uploads, background activity or other devices on your network.
If you need higher bandwidth for both downloading and gaming at the same time, see our 5G dish and here for further detail.
