Have high ping and constantly lagging out right before your in-game head is sniped off? Then you should take a look at GameRail, a new internet network provider focusing on multiplayer online gaming is currently beta testing their service in 8 cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and St. Louis. GameRail has built up a backbone network specifically designed to minimize latency through less hops between your computer and it’s destination (the game server). By interconnecting between local ISPs and game server hosts, cities are connected via a point-to-point data connection, meaning, in theory, you’ll have less dropped packets and lower latency since your data has to travel down one straight ‘tube’ (har har har!) to get to where it needs to be, that being a rail blast through your opponents head.

Update: Gamerail is dead and buried due to low-quality and no discernible market. Best course of action would have been to figure out how to market it to World of Warcraft or online casino gamers.
