It could possibly a means to fulfill a contractual obligation. I'm sure that they're getting a trade discount by doing this kind of advertising/advertorial (they did that commercial for TWC a year ago) because business internet connections from TWC are absolutely highway robbery. In my area a 10/3Mb connection for a business is $700 per month from TWC and fiber connections start at 6 grand a month. Incorporating the name wouldn't be immersion breaking for us players and could help meet their end of the trade bargain.
I hope so. I am about to switch to Charter/Spectrum as U-Verse keeps raising their rates on me.
Damn. That's fucking ridiculous. Niche breakdown though. Thanks.
Ooooooo, lore. I reckon I should get reading some. Eventually. Maybe.
Don't worry, us nerds won't shut up about it so you'll learn it via drunken osmosis.
Good, because I barely have time to play, much less read. Haha
Welcome to Berlin;I have the fastest package TWC offers where I live, but they are a pain to deal with. Maybe things will get better under Charter.
I wonder if there are plans, in the works or in the future, to upgrade to higher speed? A lot has been developed in two years.
I lived out in the sticks in Bavaria. It gets a lot worse. I would have thought that in Berlin things would be pretty snappy, though.
The article is talking about their external internet access (wan) speed of which 1Gbs is good particularly if it is uncontended (no one else sharing it) as leased fibre lines tend to be. Now they're hosting most of the game and content on amazon web services they probably are not going to need more than 1Gbps as all they'll be using it for is browsing, streaming, youtubes and occasionally uploading game files to amazon.
I wish, mate.
