Here’s what our happy customers have to say about Occom

Faysal

“ I’m a big FIFA guy. Some of my friends are not very technical, so if they need any new connection, they reach out to Occom, and Occom configures a router and sends it. ”

Jason

“ If you game, you need Occom. High speeds with no dropouts is the difference between life and death in here, guys. Makes Fortnite, Call of Duty updates a breeze. ”

Occom isn’t just fast, it’s made for gamers

Latency and its impact on gaming

In fast-paced online games, latency-or ping-measures the time it takes for data to travel between your device and the game server. Even a 10ms delay can mean reacting slower, missing shots, or lagging behind opponents. Factors like your NBN tech type, ISP routing, and local network congestion all play a role. That’s why gamers need a connection optimised for low-latency performance. Occom maintains an average ping of 10–20ms to local servers, helping reduce lag and boost reaction time where it matters most.

NAT type and connectivity

A Strict NAT type can hinder your online gaming experience by blocking you from hosting game sessions or using peer-to-peer features. This is because a Strict NAT limits incoming connections, making it hard for your console or PC to establish direct peer-to-peer links with other players, which many online games need for seamless gameplay. Occom provides free public dynamic IP addresses that bypass these restrictions, enhancing compatibility with online platforms.

Understanding packet loss and jitter

Packet loss happens when data doesn’t reach the game server, while jitter refers to inconsistent delivery times. Both can cause lag spikes, rubberbanding, or dropped voice comms-especially in competitive matches. These issues are often caused by network instability, poor routing, or congestion. Occom’s optimised infrastructure is designed to minimise both packet loss and jitter, delivering smoother, more stable gameplay for serious players.

Routing and Peering

Routing refers to the path your data takes from your device to the game server and back. The shorter and more efficient the route, the lower the latency, which results in smoother gameplay with less lag.

Peering is when Internet Service Providers (ISPs) connect directly with game servers instead of relying on multiple third-party networks. This creates faster and more stable connections.

Occom provides top-tier dedicated links and optimised routing, ensuring your gaming data follows the quickest path with minimal lag and jitter. We also offer direct peering with major game servers for the best possible performance during gameplay.

Frequently asked questions

How do I opt-out of CG-NAT?

At Occom, we use CG-NAT (Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation) to optimize network performance and enhance online security. However, we understand that serious gamers may need a direct connection for hosting games, using peer-to-peer features, or getting the most from their Xbox or PlayStation. No problem — you can easily opt out of CG-NAT. Just call our support team on 1300 299 999, and we’ll get you set up for the ultimate gaming experience.

What speed should I choose for online gaming?

For most gamers, an nbn100 or nbn250 plan is ideal, offering low lag and fast downloads. However, if you stream, game, and share your connection with others, higher speeds like nbn1000 may be best.

Does Occom prioritise gaming traffic?

Yes! We direct peering with major game servers to ensure your gaming data takes the fastest route possible, minimizing lag and jitter during gameplay.

Will my ping improve with Occom?

Absolutely. Our optimized routing and low-latency focus mean you can expect faster, more stable pings to major gaming platforms like Steam, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and more.

Does CG-NAT affect online gaming?

To stream games on platforms like Twitch or YouTube gaming, you’ll need strong upload speeds—at least 6–10 Mbps for 1080p at 60fps. For high-bitrate 1080p or 4K streams, 40 Mbps or more may be required. Download speed matters less for streaming but is still important for smooth gameplay. An nbn50 or higher plan is recommended for gaming and streaming at the same time.
If you live with others and using video calls, streaming, or large downloads, go for nbn100 or above on FTTP or HFC to avoid slowdowns and ensure a consistent connection.
