Energy's apparent absence from the Telkom DGL Master Series launch was noted by many. We now have the official comment from Energy eSports regarding the issue.

The Telkom DGL Masters launch event is tonight, and they've brought in international host Paul "ReDeYe" Chaloner to MC the procedings. While this name may not be known to many, it's one you should get a bit more familiar with.

The Do Gaming Championship already had some impressive prize pools for this year's event. It's just grown larger as new sponsors have come on board, and existing sponsors have increased their contribution.

The Telkom Do Gaming Championship is drawing closer and closer. Here's all you need to know about the event if you plan on playing or spectating.

While this news is not strictly gaming related (and more like something you would see on MyBroadband), this whole Seacom debacle has stolen hours and hours of online gaming from our lives, so I get to write about it, ok? Awesome. If you thought that having no internet was giving you a tough time, you must have no idea about …

Do you live in a country with cheap, fast, uncapped internet? Is that country called The United States of America? If so, Sony has something rather nice for you. Sony have just announced that they’ve managed to sign up every one of the six major Studios to provide downloadable HD films – straight to your PS3. This is quite a …

Americans are up in arms because a US company called Comcast has started capping their internet services. The poor US internet users (residential only I might add) are going to really suffer because they have been restricted to a measly 250GB per month.... Now I can understand why the internet users are upset as no one likes having anything taken away but this really makes me think about how scary things actually are in South Africa compared to the rest of the world.... I really think that the world needs to know how much we pay and how little we get. I have gone to a US ISP website to check their pricing and then looked at the pricing here in South Africa just to get a good look at the differences between the two. (Comcast requires an address to get pricing and for the life of me I couldn't get it to work) You simply won't believe the numbers when you see them. Firstly, I am going to take a look at a decent "hardcore" internet package from Telkom together with Webafrica: Telkom 4Mbps ADSL line including rental (Not including any setup fees or modem + Webafrica 10GB Shaped Account: = R1050.88 Now for the US, I have taken these details straight from the AT&T website: Downstream Speed: Up to 6.0 Mbps Upstream Speed: Up to 768 Kbps IP Address: 1 Dynamic Double Your Cash Back – Order online and get $100 Cash Back!* Get Elite for $35.00 per month with the price guaranteed for 2 years—no contract required!* Plus, receive a FREE AT&T Wireless Gateway (wireless router with built-in modem—a $79.99 value) or a FREE Modem (a $49.99 value) after rebate. Online offer only.* Also, enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi access at over 17,000 hot spots, including U.S. company-operated Starbucks locations equipped with a hot spot.* So then, 6mbps line, uncapped, unshaped free modem and hotspot connectivity, wanna guess how much it works out to? $35.00 per month (R276.00) As I work out these figures I find it incredibly difficult to believe what we are paying and what we as South Africans have become used to. Now I know it doesn't actually work this way, but my calculator program is open and I feel like working something out. What would it cost me to have 250GB's worth of cap if I had to order it from a local ISP? I checked on Webafrica and they do have High Cap options available, so from their packages I will need to order 2 x 100GB packages + 1 x 50GB package. The final price for the cap alone: R16,700.00 ($2,115.00) per month Wow, just wow. When you look at numbers like this you really start to realise how ridiculous all of this actually is. These US ADSL packages at these prices are geek fantasies that we could only dream of and it is something that really needs to change.
