BT Boosts Online Gaming In Xbox
BT has launched two new products designed for the gaming community that allow Xbox owners to hook up to broadband. Using a router modem, customers can connect their console and PC to the broadband line at the same time. Broadband from BT for games consoles is a fully compatible one-stop service where customers can purchase a combined router and modem and their broadband connection in one, choosing between either BT Broadband or BT Yahoo! Broadband. Broadband is currently available to 80% of UK households, and an ever growing number of console gamers are being turned on to the benefits of broadband online gaming. Duncan Ingram, managing director at BT Openworld, said: "The launch of a broadband product specifically designed for online console gaming is a statement of intent from BT; we feel there is a going to be huge growth in this area in the UK."Source: http://www.brandrepublic.com/
