This has been immediately put to work. New on the network, you will find Soldier of Fortune two. The old Soldier of Fortune (sof.iinet.net.au) server has now been retired in favour of its successor. We are overjoyed to announce the release of our Neverwinter Nights servers. There are currently six chapters online, with an Arena of Champions server also present. These servers are expected to be very popular as more and more people buy this number one game, and say goodbye to their social lives. Our Neverwinter night’s servers should appear at the top of your Gamespy client server list if you sort by ping.
There is much more in the works! Keep an eye out next month for some more exciting new servers that we are currently developing. iiNet Upgrades Broadband Services in Sydney and Melbourne In line with iiNet’s aim to grow a strong national business by providing superior products and services, we are in the process of upgrading our broadband infrastructure in Sydney and Melbourne. From 12th August, local routing will be enabled in both Sydney and Melbourne to decrease latency (speed) for broadband users. This has been made possible due to additional infrastructure deployments in our existing Sydney and Melbourne POPs. This deployment allows iiNet to terminate ADSL traffic locally in Sydney and Melbourne instead of trunking the ADSL traffic to Perth. Customers should now be experiencing a significant increase in performance due to these changes. Customers in Sydney and Melbourne should also be advised Bliink time is from 12am to 7am AEST.
