AAA Internet Publishing Inc., doing business as wtfast, is a Canadian company that provides an optimized gaming network, also known as the Gamers Private Network (GPN), for MMO, FPS, and MOBA gamers.[1] It is a platform that online gamers use to access gaming servers with an uninterrupted connection.[2][3][4] The company is operated by AAA Internet Publishing, Inc. with headquarters in Kelowna, British Columbia.[5]

History

The company was initially founded by Rob Bartlett in 1997, as AAA Internet Publishing Inc. to provide internet and technology services.
