Local internet service provider (ISP) Web Africa has announced today that it will be launching a free gaming service for customers.

All Web Africa users with a Web Africa ADSL account “will not utilise any of their monthly caps whilst gaming within the Web Africa network”.

According to Web Africa games master Johnathan Enslin, the launch of a gaming service is possible because of Web Africa’s recent upgrade to its own network, making it a Tier 1 ISP.  “Having our own network makes it possible to control speed and reliability, ensuring that response times are optimal for gaming.  Our focus is to ensure that gamers have a hassle-free experience, so we’ve joined forces with the best in the business to offer a top-quality service.” 

The company further announced that it has partnered with local gaming infrastructure team Organised Chaos to launch this service for customers. The service will initially include four games: Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: World at War, Counter Strike: Source, and Team Fortress 2.

Enslin also confirmed that the gaming service will be unshaped and will run through Web Africa’s own IPC Network.

The service, which will be available on the 10th of December, will require participant gamers to configure their multiplayer IP addresses and download the relevant game patches in order for them to play without using bandwidth. All of the relevant information says Enslin will be available in Web Africa’s gaming forum.
