Freedom2Surf, (www.freedom2surf.net) the UK's leading independent ISP, has today announced the launch of Live!Online, the first online gaming package which combines a super-fast ADSL connection, with an Xbox console in one simple integrated bundle.

Live!Online has been specially developed for users who want to add another dimension to their gaming experience. The package combines ultra-fast broadband from Freedom2Surf with everything you need to get up and running, including an Xbox console, a subscription to Xbox Live for a full year and two free games - Halo and Mid-Town Madness 3.

Freedom2Surf's broadband services have been optimised to enhance the online gaming experience with great 'ping' and response rates. Live!Online users can choose from a 1mb Power User service, an ultra fast connection available for just £29.99 per month, or a 512k broadband package, for just £22.50 per month. The complete Live!Online bundle is available for £257.24 (inc VAT) and includes all the necessary broadband equipment, including a gaming compatible ADSL modem with the capability to connect to both your PC and console at the same time.

Gaming consoles are once again set to be the must-have present this Christmas with research suggesting that by the end of 2006, 1.4 million people worldwide will be using consoles online. Chris Panayis, Managing Director of Freedom2Surf, commented: "Online gaming is increasing in popularity all the time and I believe will really enter the mainstream in 2004. Getting started with online console gaming can be a complex process, which is why we have become one of the first ISPs in the UK to develop an easy to use and integrated package. Live!Online gives users the power of the Xbox console combined with the speed and reliability of a Freedom2Surf broadband connection, to create the ultimate online gaming experience."
