5 best Internet plans for gaming in Quebec

How did we choose the following Internet plans for gaming?

It’s not a secret, big gamers need a fast Internet package. As most people are more familiar with download speed, upload speeds become important when we talk about gaming. After discussing with different Internet Service Providers, most would agree that a gamer needs an upload speed of at least 20 Mbps. Although it is common to find plans with enormous download speeds, upload speeds are usually a lot lower. Therefore, we have gathered here Internet packages with a faster upload speed.

What is an upload speed?

It refers to the speed that you send data from your computer or video game console to Internet servers. Why is it important for gaming? When you game, you send a lot of data, and during live game, a higher speed will allow for data to be transmitted faster and therefore will reduce lagging.

Thus, you will find packages here that offer an upload speed of 20 Mbps and higher. In general, those packages also offer a higher download speed. However, those packages would be fitting for casual players. If you are a professional gamer, you will need an even higher upload speed.
