Hi @Claire2011
Gaming doesnt use a lot of bandwidth, its more latency sensitive. If your having issues with gaming on a 150mbps Full Fibre connection, its much more likely to be a WiFi issue rather than a package/speed issue. The recommended thing to do would be to use an ethernet cable to the gaming device if possible.

@Claire2011 There is also an Ethernet adapter kit that Amazon sells for the Firestick, one off those also make a difference, and 150Mb/s should really hold up if that is all you have connected for drawing down data!
