The short answer is yes.

We founded Pentanet because we were frustrated with Perth's lackluster internet connectivity options, especially for gamers, and our 5G Fixed Wireless network is a culmination of those efforts. But what makes 5G Fixed Wireless good for gaming?

5G Fixed Wireless is a reliable connection

For gamers, a reliable connection is essential; there's nothing worse than your net dropping out 40 minutes deep into a ranked match. Well, in that regard, 5G Fixed Wireless has your back.

5G Fixed Wireless works very differently from more traditional fixed-line connections such as the nbn®. We set up a dish on your roof with a direct line of sight to one of our towers, providing a clear highway for the high-speed frequency to reach your home. This connection method provides improved stability, reduced dropouts and fluctuations, and letting you enjoy a truly reliable connection.

5G Fixed Wireless offers very stable speeds

Pentanet 5G Fixed Wireless is an entirely private network; unlike the nbn, we're don’t share it with any other providers, meaning we have total control. We even own the frequency 5G Fixed Wireless operates on, letting us cut out disruptions and interference. 

This control helps keep disruptive traffic down and makes ‘busy period speeds’ a thing of the past. It also allows us to provide latency comparable with the very best fibre-to-the-premises connections can provide. 

So, when you're getting in from work and keen for a game, you don't need to worry about network slowdown causing lag, jitter, or unreliable speeds, letting you game at your best any time of the day.

5G Fixed Wireless is as fast as you'll ever need

Gamers tend to assume the biggest number is the only one worth considering. Who can blame us, right? But there does come a point of diminishing returns, especially for your internet connection.

For example, Fixed Wireless Performance is more than fast enough to enjoy cloud gaming with 4K visuals at 120FPS using GeForce NOW Powered by CloudGG. With 200Mbps speeds, even while gaming in the cloud, you won’t be stretching your bandwidth to its limit either, and everyone in the home can continue to enjoy high-quality streaming, downloading files, and using your connection to the fullest.

So, if your goal is to enjoy streaming and gaming online without interruption, the 5G Fixed Wireless Performance plan will be more than enough to enjoy your downtime at its finest.

5G Fixed Wireless is a great solution for gamers with a range of affordable plans at speeds that are more than fast enough for any gamer. Sound good? Well, then, what are you waiting for? You can check if your address is eligible right here.
