GameRail has set up a direct connection to the Charter High Speed Internet service network to offer Charter’s customers better online gaming experience. The new connection actually sidesteps the Internet and helps Charter High-Speed Internet subscribers in Missouri, St. Louis, and St. Louis Metro East reduce ping times to online game servers throughout the country by 25%–75%.

 

With GameRail’s nationwide network, gamers get connected to game servers. “Our network’s reach today covers most major peering points with partners servicing broadband subscribers from as far as Fairbanks, Alaska and as near as Chesterfield, Missouri. Access providers and game server hosts continue to jump on the rail in order to offer their customers the best online gaming experience possible” said Blake Ashby, GameRails’ President. “Charter customers can see for themselves the improved performance by riding GameRail.”

 

Online gamers with broadband Internet service from Charter now can access performance game servers offering popular titles like America’s Army:Special Forces, Battlefield 2 Ranked and Unranked, Call of Duty, Counter Strike Source, Enemy Territory Fortress, Half Life: Condition Zero, Half Life/ Counter-Strike, Halo: Combat Evolved, Quake 4 etc.

 

Online multiplayer computer gaming is fast becoming quite popular in the U.S., with over 40 million people now playing regularly. According to the news release, GameRail has recently introduced the first network designed to meet the speed and quality needs of online gaming. GameRail’s bypass network connects the game player directly to the game host and avoids the congestion and ineffective routing paths of the regular Internet.

 

Progression LLC, a Missouri LLC dba GameRail is a facilities-based network operator delivering superior performance to the online gaming community. GameRail directly connects game players to their favorite game hosts and vice versa, thus eliminating game play degrading high latency hops on the Internet.
