Yeah but your ping times to NYC and Chicago will be total crap. 150ms+, and the crap will get delivered over TCP from some of these retail feeds. Unless you colo and automate, you will be restricted to large time-frame trading.

I am from pakistan a daytrade crude oil on a 4mbit connection(which costs around 50 usd). If a third world country can have high speed internet why not a developed country like norway?

My dad's father (grandpa) was born in Norway. Moved here when he was 5 years old. I'm moving to Norway too. Do they like Americans moving to their country? What language do I need to learn? America is turning into crap. I have to get out of this place. I have been trying to figure out where to go. Norway sounds like going back home.

We have no problems at all with americans moving to norway! The girls love american boys, I have observed that many many times

No need to learn any language at all. You will do just fine with american, everybody here speeks and understand english very well.

I never said english is our nr. 1 language. Norwegian of course is!

But everybody in Norway start lerning english in school from 2. grade, and it is a big part of school from then on.

Very cool, good luck. No more early mornings to; check the futures, see what new government programs are out, must be nice.
