What does the modem look like?

Is it the same as Gigablast?
No, Gigablast is a gigabit internet connection. Gigabit internet is your download and upload speed, not to be confused with latency or stability, i.e., ping, jitter, spikes, and loss.
Why use Elite Gamer?
Elite Gamer is a VPN for gaming, also known as a GPN, that prioritizes speed between your router and the gaming servers you access during online gaming. So, how can Elite Gamer enhance your experience? Elite Gamer helps improve responsiveness by reducing latency, jitter, spikes, and packet loss. Think of them as a traffic cop routing you along the fastest route to your destination.
What is Lag, and how does it affect my gameplay?
In computing, "latency" describes some type of delay. It typically refers to delays in transmitting or processing data, which can be caused by a wide variety of reasons. Latency in your network traffic can cause interruptions while you game, making them feel unresponsive or choppy. Most gamers call this lag!
In games where timing is critical, such as first-person shooters and real-time strategy games, a stable low latency connection is always desirable. These connections will come with less lag, which provides a smoother gaming experience.
