Be Broadband is offering its customers a new online gaming service which promises to make "secure, fast and free game servers" available to those who enjoy competitive internet gameplay.

Enemy Down, considered to be the UK’s number one gaming competitive gaming website, has been chosen to partner Be Broadband in the launch of Be Mixes.

Those who enjoy playing first person shooters such as Counter Strike Source, in which counter terrorist personnel aim to complete challenging missions, will be able to meet in a virtual lobby before playing fellow gamers online.

"Online gaming can be a fantastic experience, with great players having closely fought matches on fast servers," said Oli White, head of marketing at Be Broadband.

He went on: "A lot of Be members are gamers and we believe that secure, fast and free game servers should be available to all and, coupled with our excellent broadband service, this brand new ‘Mixes’ system will give Be members the gaming experience they want."

Counter Strike Source is an updated version of Counter Strike, using the much-heralded Source engine.
