games.on.net is ready for battle, armed with:

  • the lowest possible latency

  • unmetered Battlefield 4 gaming for customer with access to the iiNet Freezone.

games.on.net will provide gamers with access to brand new, state-of-the-art, Battlefield 4 servers as a result of our exclusive Australian partnership with GameServers.com,” iiNet Content Manager Heidi Angove said.

“With points of presence located in Adelaide, Perth and Sydney, we have ensured a high quality and high performance network which ensures the lowest possible latency for Australian gamers.

iiNet has invested in multiple points of presence to create a private global backbone network, and multiple upstream connections to ensure a highly available network service.
“The iiNet group network is not reliant on any one upstream provider, which ensures maximum performance and resiliency to normal everyday Internet events.” Of course, what all that means is that we reckon that our gamers will have the best experience and most fun while playing Battlefield 4 and that’s what we want.

And that’s not all - playing Battlefield 4 on any games.on.net servers is unmetered for all customers who have access to the iiNet Freezone.

“But wait there’s more ! Through our partnership with GameServers.com, iiNet offers Aussie gamers the ability to rent out their own Battlefield 4 servers and enjoy the same low-latency, rock-solid gameplay of our public servers - all for themselves, or their mates!” Heidi said.

“The gaming community has already shown phenomenal support for Battlefield 4, with thousands of players hitting our servers each day throughout October to test out the early access beta version of this hotly-anticipated game.

“We are keen for gamers to experience our new servers and our tier 1 global network for the official Battlefield 4 release, and to be a part of the ultimate Battlefield experience. See you on the battlefield!”
