rAge 2013

In 2013, Internet Solutions provided an uncapped and unshaped 1Gb internet connection during the rAge 2013[2] which is the biggest Computer LAN event in South Africa. This was a milestone in South African gaming considering that the average gamer is restricted to ADSL lines offered by the state monopoly, Telkom. The maximum ADSL speed offered by Telkom ranges between 4Mb and 10Mb depending on area with only a few gamers able to enjoy the full 10Mb speed on offer. The 1Gb link offered by Internet Solutions at rAge 2013 was very well received on most forums and public bulletin boards, with some users even claiming that this may very well turn out to be a turning point for broadband expectations in South Africa.
