is wtfast Legit?

[call me frosty]

i just got a new graphics card and on the box it has a wtfast sticker on it. is wtfast legit and if it is does it work?

Looks legit and looks like it works (assuming you have a fast enough connection).

 

Kind of ironic that on the box for your new GPU it has a code for streaming games which I find is mostly aimed at people with shit PCs.

I would steer say a from game streaming services if you have a capable computer. They have some downsides that make it not worth it imo.

It's a gaming "VPN" and it does work in a lot of cases, unless you already have good routing to your favorite games.

 

I used to use WTFast when I played Final Fantasy XIV on a crap connection when the game server I was on was almost 3000 miles away from me. Their prices went up a couple years ago and I had to use a different service until Square Enix moved the game servers. But it did shave my latency from ~180-300ms down to 140ms. Not ideal but it was a big improvement.

it's nothing but a premium proxy you can use as bridge between two points

depends where you live

 

for the 3rd world it's really worth since all of the important game servers are usually in europe or the us

Same for me, my gf and a friend. We played from Croatia, he played from the Philippines, we were on US server (Ultros). As you say, anoticeable improvement. 

Thank you for EU servers with still a shitty backbone. 

Most people will say that it doesn't make a difference but it's different for everyone. For some people makes 0 difference.

Yea I live in the US and was on a NA server (Lamia), but I had a horrible connection at the time with bad wifi as well. WTFast made it so I could actually raid and not be a handicap.

I really have no clue what you just stated there. But the last phrase makes much sense. Just got no clue what wtfast is without a quick search. They lost me at GPN.

From what I can tell, it's a game streaming service, like Nvidia's Geforce NOW.

Depends where you live and the performance of your PC. It can help, but if you already have a fast connection and computer, it won't do anything but probably make it worse.
