If I had a magic wand and could make the perfect gamers ISP - they would....

now add your own words



offer interleaving off

offer a plan with full speed up and down

a larger range of cap levels or scale a variable rate on a pay per gb basis

host their own gaming servers and reward their own ISP user/customers

host downloads for demos and patches - offer early access to their customers

have real gamers running the gaming environment

offer web hosting to clans

offer bookable servers and hosting for clan servers

run domestic competitions with the gaming distributors

sponsor teams for international events

be linked to a software retail channel so that existing clients could benefit from a prefered customer status.

Xnet come pretty close, no interleaving, pay per GB with either limit yourself to a maximum protection or "pay per use" (And it's very cheap) 50GB would cost you only about $105

The other I have had a very good run with for higher level or critical stuff is ICONZ but pricing is higher.


As for the rest, Hmmmm you have me thinking.. There is a shortage of good local servers, a package deal is really not a bad idea at all.

I guess it depends on the games you want to play.

InspireNet - simply awesome supporting the online racing gaming community for many years now with free servers (as well as TeamSpeak), upgrades at a moments notice, supply free wireless connections for lans, constantly hosting locally practically any file required and have a good rep from all users.
