I can tell you about the latency in getting their service. I phoned 2 weeks ago for a quote; lost interest when they told me I'd have to wait 5 weeks for the install as they are very busy.

I've had Bitco for about 2 weeks, Destiny,COD AW, BF4 and Forza all work seamlessly. As for the games that you have mentioned ,i can not speak for them. I have picked up in the Bitco threads that some of the guys battle with packet loss with some of the games for example CSGO. However it only seems to be only certain games. The packet loss on my connection is zero, as for the latency it is brilliant for gaming comparing it to other ISP's and that includes ADSL. Pinged a UK server 167ms with zero packet loss.

Over all im very impressed, you require a little bit of patience with regards to installation and a good LOS.

Hoping the above helps, one last thing for what it is worth, Bitco is so far the best internet i've ever had!!

Howzit buddy, i will concur Bitco is flat out. Since they have entered the residential market they have been overwhelmed.

However in my opinion they are the most closely guarded secret in the ISP world. Granted patience is required, however believe me, it is worth the wait.

Contact Sales ,speak to Hazel or Khanyi

This weekend I have been gaming CS:GO with pings hovering around 5ms to 12 ms constantly. I was even asked which ISP I'm with :D
