OpenWeb has launched new Gold Uncapped products for 4Mbps and 10Mbps ADSL. The company says that these accounts are well-suited to South Africa’s gamers, providing reliability, redundancy, and high-prioritisation on the network.
Openweb CEO Keoma Wright said “The contention ratio is why Gold Uncapped works so well. We keep contention low and prioritise traffic for gaming. Latency can make or break a gamer – if your ISP doesn’t add a priority flag on your gaming traffic, even if your gaming connection seems to be working well, you wont stand a chance. Our Gold Uncapped specifically prioritises every single byte.”
According to OpenWeb, the latest Ookla Quality Index statistics show South Africa ranked at number 47 out of 64 countries in terms of quality of connection. The findings demonstrate the importance for gamers to seek a specialist gaming solution.
Citing previous MyGaming survey research from March 2012, OpenWeb explained that 79% of respondents indicated that they played online games, and ADSL outshone its rivals due to the low latency required to get the most out of online games. 39% of these respondents were working of the ADSL 4/10Mbps offering, illustrating a gamers preference around downloads, updates and patching.
“Gamers need bandwidth and reliability. There can be no negotiation on either. Openweb have filled both gaps with these Gold Uncapped products, giving SA gamers the type of connection they deserve,” said Wright.
For a limited time, Openweb will also be including a free game for all those signing up beyond a six month period, including Call of Duty: Black Ops or Guild Wars 2.
