In addition to watching videos and playing games on PCs and smartphones, a fast and stable network environment is now essential for comfortable game playing, including data downloading and online play.
In the case of online play, network instability can affect play, and there may be penalties if the connection is lost, so it is no exaggeration to say that the Internet connection is one of the most important parts of the game.
Of course, there are various high-speed connections that can be contracted by individuals, but there are few that are specialized for games, especially e-sports.
We previously introduced " Commufa Hikari Gaming Custom " on Saiga NAK, but unfortunately it was not available in the Kanto region because it is a service provided by Chubu Telecommunications Co.
We were wondering if there were any e-sports-specific fiber optic lines available outside of the Chubu area, and then NTT Plala announced a new service for e-sports!
ISP options tuned for gamers
NTT Plala has announced an ISP option tuned for gamers called " ISP Gaming O ption".
This service provides a wide bandwidth in the dedicated Internet environment andcontrols the bandwidth of traffic for software distribution and video distribution, which have a large impact on the communication environment, to reduce delays caused by packet loss to the game server and achieve an optimal low latency environment for e-sports competition scenes. This service is designed to provide an optimal low-latency environment for e-sports competitions.
In FPS and fighting games, the game is often decided in an instant when lag occurs.
This service is required for both everyday game play and competitions that are often held online these days.
The "ISP Gaming Option" service is scheduled to be available in December 2021, but before that, a closed beta test will be conducted!
Beta testers will be recruited from Plala members to experience the "ISP Gaming Option" prior to the official launch of the service.
The conditions for applying to be a beta tester are
- Those who are currently using Plala's "docomo Hikari (1Gig)" or "Plala Hikari" connection service, or are in the process of applying for the same connection service.
- To be able to agree to the precautions and procedures for participation as a tester
- Those who can experience games and other activities in a dedicated environment during the beta service period and cooperate with questionnaires.
The service is provided by NTT Plala, so you should be able to use the service.
The beta service period is from late September 2021 to mid-November 2021, so you will be able to use the service for about a month and a half.
The beta tester recruitment period is from Tuesday, August 24, 2021 to Sunday, September 5, 2021!
If you are a current NTT Plala user, a new subscriber to an Internet line, or considering switching lines, apply to experience the "ISP Gaming Option" before anyone else!
