DSL/Cable Modem Wireless Router with your device set to static IP address and no other devices/users sharing either your WiFi or DSL/Cable. Sure you could use 3G if you are trading Forex, only need to monitor the baseline price (so low data usage) and don't mind some disconnects. I'm in Pattaya.

Thanks for your replies, LeeD. Despite the laws that exist, I still think that brokers can at least match orders off-exchange, and given then chance: they'd certainly tweak their matching engine to their own advantage. That said; I'd have a better taste in my mouth if I was more...

Let's say that the ask side of the book is offered like this: Price Size 5.25 20 5.00 20 4.75 30 1. Trader bids Limit $5.25 x 20. 2. Ask 4.75 x 30 is part of the brokers trading algo (above the VWAP). 3. Broker takes the order from customer. 4. Then Broker pulls...
