Orcon adds zero-rated Steam servers and other gaming goodness
Mon 22 Aug 2011
Big news for gamers: Orcon has installed new gaming servers, a Steam server, and has zero-rated traffic to both.
Steam is an application that lets people buy, download and play games.
Installing a Steam server at Orcon’s datacenter lets people download games quickly, and is zero-rated, overcoming a major barrier for many people downloading games.
Orcon’s Thomas Salmen says: “Gaming has always been core for Orcon, many of our staff are big gamers and we have a lot of customers who game.
“The new servers mean better gaming performance, and Steam is an awesome service that we are really happy to be able to zero-rate.
Orcon has also launched a new community site games.orcon.net.nz so people can see what servers are running, track their stats and chat with other gamers.
Important note: data from the Orcon Steam Content Server will be unmetered for Orcon customers. However, if you download from another Steam server, this usage will be charged. More details here.
