iDSL and iGame Unlimited officially launched
Broadband provider iBurst today launched its ADSL service – dubbed iDSL – as well as their iGame Unlimited an online gaming platform for South Africa’s gaming community.
For R99 per month, iBurst subscribers on the new iDSL package will get access to the iGame online gaming platform while all traffic to the iGame server will be free and will therefore not count towards a subscriber’s normal bandwidth cap.
The iGame platform is open to all gamers in South Africa, connecting via any ISP, and is currently one of the largest gaming communities in the country. iGame hosts multiplayer servers for popular PC games like Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty 5: World at War, Team Fortress, Wolfenstein, Quake4, Track Mania and Left 4 Dead 2.
iGame Unlimited is however only available to iBurst iDSL customers. iGame Unlimited users not only have uncapped gaming bandwidth, but get preferential status with guaranteed game play even when the servers get busy, they will receive priority support on the iGame community, and will be automatic entered into monthly prize pools.
For players that are not iBurst Wireless customers and want to subscribe to iGame Unlimited, they can pick up a 80MB iDSL account for R19/month extra. Other packages include a 1GB bundle at R49/month, a 5GB package at R245 per month and a 15GB bundle at R585 per month.
“We recently redesigned our iDSL offering for ADSL users to bypass Telkom’s routing infrastructure and connect directly in to iBurst¹s core. This offers gamers a better connection with lower latency (responsiveness) and jitter (consistency). Now, with iGame Unlimited, gamers can play to their heart¹s content using one of the best gaming servers around, without worrying about using up their bandwidth,” says Steve Briggs, Executive Head of Commercial iBurst.
