WTFast is a 'private network' designed for online gaming data, supposedly providing a private network path to game servers. The description from their website as follows:
WTFast is the Gamers Private Network (GPN), a global data network designed specifically for MMO Gamers and their game data. The WTFast GPN ensures you always have the optimal game connection - increasing your game speed, reducing your game disconnects, response deviation & lag.
They've got a YouTube video talking about it (1m31s)
I've got a few questions for those that use it:
What games do you use it for?
Is it always on? (ie. affect all internet traffic)
Did you receive noticeable results?
Does it do anything fishy behind the scenes? (Such as bitcoin mining, slow internet connection outside games)
Does it affect speedtest.net results?
What are your thoughts and opinions on the product?

Yeah. You could go for the argument that they specialize for "game" connections and as a result be "faster", but the fact that it just tunnels through your regular Internet connection from what your ISP provided you'll still get the same latency, if not more. The bottleneck of the connections will be the line the game server leased from their ISP, which will have all multiple connections already if the game is popular, and your line from your ISP. Even if the number of hops your connection to the game server will take using WTFast is lower compared to using without it, the game server's lines will still be congested.
When I did my testing while I used it, the route that was used with or without WTFast didn't change. The peering between countries still sucked, which what made me check solutions for it and saw the said service, and I got same or higher latency.
If it worked for you and you got 10+, 40+, 100+ ms off your latency, you should continue using it if you are satisfied.
