Through any wired connection (pots, dsl, isdn, cable) in the US, you will have a very, very hard time finding a reliable data supplier/isp combo that will ping at much over 100ms.
Don't know where your 280ms "average ping on the net" comes from but in the trading world I don't believe that is anything close to average.
Bottom line is that 200+ is slow compared to many, many data options.
