Wired. See below for why. Lag...hah...

BT infinity I guess.

I have virgin media so I'm on fibre optic as well.


Yep. I went from Virgin ADSL which was terrible in every way to Infinity which is flawless and the router is fantastic. Virgin Cable is great as well, though just harder to get at times - what's the router like? If it's decent I imagine you could get away with wireless gaming if the signal strength is adequate.

I'm with VM, they're great. Best ISP I've been with imo. No constant dropouts like when was with Sky.

PC/PS3 = Wired. Xbox is wireless but I don't use that to play games online anyway.

I used to use wireless, but then switched to wired for a more stable connection, cause now the router is really far away from my xbox.

Wired for the first two years of this gen and Wireless there after.



The only devices I use wireless with are portable ones. I run an ethernet cord for anything that gets plugged into the wall. Wireless is just too unpredictable.



I use wired as it is no problem with the cables for me from the Hub

Wireless, sadly. Been messing up my connection ever since the Halo 3 days. I would have used a cable if there weren't two doors along the way that frequently needs to be shut.



wired....



I always choose wired for greater stability. It's too much of a pain to try and estimate the optimal positions for router and console to get a stable connection with wireless.
