Calling all gamers.
Optus Game Path courts PC gamers with low lag promise.
Optus announced on Friday a new routing product named Game Path where NBN users will be able to pay AU$10 a month for fewer hops of their traffic. The company is targeting gamers, with users needing to run an application in Windows to take advantage of it. The Singaporean-owned telco said Game Path can 'reduce lag on average by 30% -- which can mean the difference between life and death in a PC game'

This announcement follows a similar product launch called Game Optimiser from Telstra in mid-September. For the same $10 per month, Telstra NBN customers can access similar traffic routing. However, the difference with Game Optimiser is that the software is installed in the Telstra NBN Smart Modem ( SMG2 ), so the benefit can be shared with any device on the network, including gaming consoles.
