Be first to Prestige: the positive, gamer-first guide to symmetrical broadband

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launch night is nearly here. Friends are online, lobbies are filling, and you’re ready to make your mark at the top of the leaderboard. To play your best, you deserve a connection that feels effortless. That’s symmetrical full fibre broadband, equal download and upload speeds for fast installs, clear comms and smooth, confident game play. 

At Voneus, we keep things simple, friendly and on your side. Here’s how to set yourself up for a brilliant launch. 

Day one made easy 

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 lands on Friday 14 November 2025. Want it queued up in a click? Pre-order on Amazon (PS5).  

File sizes vary by platform and the packs you choose, but first-day installs are typically large. To make it feel quick and calm, plug your console or PC into the router with Ethernet for the download, then switch back to Wi-Fi if you prefer. 

How long does a big download take on 70Mbps? 

On a clean 70 megabits per second connection (about 8.75 megabytes per second in practice): 

• 100 GB → ~3 h 10 m 

• 150 GB → ~4 h 46 m 

• 200 GB → ~6 h 21 m 

Why your numbers might look different: most shops list storage in decimal gigabytes (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes), while some tech specs use GiB in binary (1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes). That small difference explains why sizes don’t always line up exactly. 

Win more fights with a steady upstream 

Those tight 50/50s come down to milliseconds. Your game constantly uploads inputs and position data, so strong upload speed matters just as much as download. With symmetrical broadband you get: 

• Low ping and low jitter for consistent time-to-kill 

• Fewer packet loss moments that cause rubber-banding 

• Reliable hit registration so shots feel fair 

Result: cleaner peeks, confident swings and more streaks. 

Comms that carry your team 

Good rounds sound calm and clear. Voice chat is upstream-heavy, so equal upload means your call-outs land the moment you say them. “Two mid, one flank.” Heard and acted on. No robot voices, no awkward dropouts — just tidy rotations and better teamwork. 

Helpful set-up terms: NAT Type Open, QoS (device priority), prioritised packets, cross-play party chat. 

Stream, clip and share without compromise 

Whether you’re streaming to Twitch, auto-saving highlights or backing up clips, you’re using upload. With symmetrical 250Mbps, 500Mbps or 900Mbps full fibre, you can keep a healthy bitrate, maintain crystal-clear party chat, and still leave bandwidth for everyone else at home. 

Five quick wins before you queue 

1. Wire your main device by ethernet to your Voneus router. Ethernet gives a steadier ping than Wi-Fi for ranked play. 

2. Prioritise your PS4, Xbox Series X console or PC. Use your router’s QoS/device priority so game traffic stays ahead of backups. 

3. Perfect your Wi-Fi. Place the router centrally; add whole-home mesh if you have tricky spots. 

4. Schedule big uploads. Let cloud backups and OS updates run overnight. 

5. Choose symmetrical full fibre. The simplest way to secure low ping, low jitter and clear comms. 

Why gamers choose Voneus 

• Symmetrical speeds on every full fibre plan, brilliant for fast patches, responsive multiplayer and crisp voice chat. 

• Smart Wi-Fi options that keep coverage reliable from room to room. 

• Straightforward switching and friendly support, so getting set up feels easy from the start.
