GREEN CITY — NEMR, a leading fiber internet provider, has been selected as one of 30 pilot partners for the launch of Fiber Gaming Network (FGN), a nationwide gaming platform that connects fiber internet users across the country for weekly community game nights and tournaments.

FGN, which is set to launch in May, will host a series of online gaming events every week featuring popular games such as Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Madden NFL 23, Brawlhalla, Fortnite, Rocket League, NBA2k23, and Valorant. Participating players must register beforehand and have the chance to win cash prizes of $500-$1,500 every week.

“We’re thrilled to partner with FGN to offer our customers a unique gaming experience that takes full advantage of our fiber network’s speed and reliability,” said Michele Gillespie, general manager of NEMR. “With FGN, our customers can enjoy a seamless online gaming experience while competing with gamers from all over the country.”

According to a 2021 study, fiber internet is 10 times faster than cable and offers better latency, resulting in a smoother and more responsive online gaming experience. This partnership between NEMR and FGN highlights the importance of fiber internet for online gaming and solidifies NEMR’s position as a forerunner in providing top-quality internet service.

“FGN is excited to partner with NEMR to offer gamers across the country access to high-speed, reliable fiber internet that allows for seamless online gaming experiences,” said Robert Gilbert, co-founder of Fiber Gaming Network. “We look forward to seeing how NEMR’s customers will fare in our upcoming events.”
