It's not correct where it says "All broadband services use traffic shaping", as Entanet do not.

* No traffic management restrictions are applied on traffic to and from Wireplay gaming servers

So, its a fast service if you are using specific pipex erm, tiscali owned servers.....

so its a smokescreen then.

Very few games are supported by the wireplay servers, notably they support every version of half life invented but not a lot of mainstream games, personally i doubt very much it is any better then ADSL24 as i got very little lag playing games on a uk server anyhow, bit more to the states but that is to be expected.

I think there is yet another case for the oft to investigate as there claims are not wholly true just like the use of the phrase unlimited everywhere else.

I did notice the 20GB monthly allowance to Giganews, which would be nice though.

I remember this been bandied about last year on the f2s forums, but thought it had been binned.

Most of the new gaming/mid and high-end home routers these days come with TCP/Protocol prioritising anyway if your ISP doesn't shape traffic (Entanet ISPs) if you want better pings...

Marketing scam and pointless in my opinion and also false information saying all ISPs shape traffic. I mean even my old ISP (Orange) didn't shape traffic and there, erm.. really bad. *holds in harsher comments*
