A Request for DigiChilli.

So guys everyone is all hyped for your great offering but how about a DigiGAMINGspecial.
Basically what I'm thinking is keep the current limit thing in place but when your going to play a game, say World of Warcraft, your line speed would burst to it's full speed but with the uncapped still there.
Now when your going to download the limit will be back in place.
This can also be applicable during peak time?
Just remember this is gaming. The bandwidth usage is WAY less demanding than that of crazy leechers.

So I'm thinking like a proxy server type of thing for games?
Would be a great product if this happens.

Another option would be putting this "offer" between 5pm and 8am and on weekends?

How does this sound?

Stupid. Games are the last thing that need your full line speed. Just like you said:

The bandwidth usage is WAY less demanding than that of crazy leechers.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Yeah... this sounds like a product that has no REAL use.

It would be a waste of resources to develop the systems to remove limits specifically for gaming, when its not needed

 

[Magnarmalok]

So low latency in FPS games and the like has no merit?

 

[burn]

Greater bandwidth does not necessarily lead to lower latency. It can help if you playing on a seriously slow line but in general there are other issues that are causing high latency. Well, I speak in respect to my experiences with WoW.

What would be a better product is proper unshaped access to these game servers...

Used many many gigs in the WebAfrica trial - excited to see what they launch as the trial accounts were getting me between 250-400 ms in WoW. Best I've ever had. Better than all the unshaped accounts I've ever used.
