Online Gaming

Online Gaming with PlusNet

We all know that playing games is more fun when you've got someone to play with. That's what makes online gaming so popular. You'll never be short of an opponent or a team-mate if you get into online gaming.

Playing games online is a great way to have fun and make new friends. Of course, to play games online you'll need a fast and reliable broadband connection.

How we prioritise traffic to give a quality gaming experience
We understand that gamers need low pings and a fast connection. That's why we identify gaming traffic and give it the highest priority on our network. This is more important than ever now that many households have a couple of computers and games consoles online at the same time. We also prioritise VoIP traffic, which is great news if you're using a service such as TeamSpeak or Ventrilo while you play.

Play games on your PC or your games console
PC gamers can enjoy first-person shooters, MMORPGs and more over PlusNet broadband. Got a PlayStation2, PlayStation3, Xbox, Xbox360 or Nintendo Wii? Then you can enjoy Broadband Your Way Pro's gaming expertise too.
