Avoiding the CNBC delay

Hey guys I would reward generously anyone who can help me get a faster CNBC live feed. I have tried every method possible to avoid the few second delay that most cable companies have or the buffering internet broadcasts. I have tried CNBC on the internet through Schaub, Etrade, and their own CNBCPRO website but I experience sporadic buffering issues. I even went as far to get a second dedicated internet line just for the broadcast with 120 mbs speed and still end up a split second behind. There used to be an old school cable company that I found called Knology that was right on time with 0 lag. I would pay the homeowner a good fee to turn on CNBC on a TV I provided and they would turn on the broadcast and I would call in and listen on speaker phone. Unfortunately that company was taken over by BrightHouse and they started experiencing a 7 second delay as well. If anyone has an on time broadcast or any thoughts please PM and I will pay well for it.
 
Why bother? Real time CNBC still lags light years from actual releases.

If you need real time information, spend the money and pay a legitimate service.
 
When I'm at the CBOT, I stand in front of Rick Santelli but behind the cameraman when he tells the news to me. Nobody can beat me to that. But I saw Rick downloaded the news from Bloomberg before reporting. So I got the news from Bloomberg too. Nobody can beat me to that.
 
Hey guys I appreciate the responses. However I am not looking to trade off news stories on CNBC. When Cramer talks about a stock premarket it usually has a great spike and during Fast Money at halftime if either Najarian brother mentions unusual option action they have a quick spike as well. I have plenty of real time news services so I am only looking to profit from when those commentators speak. When I had a non delayed CNBC feed I could profit nicely off those features.

How big of a difference can 12 seconds make? I do beleive CNBC is 1 in business worldwide. Better than most tweeter feeds. Isn't this correct?

I am looking to be the first person in on the mention of a stock, 12 seconds is an eternity. I have usually bought and sold within that time frame.
 
Interesting. How would I be able to find out what my cnbc lag is? do you test against say a non farm number to measure the lag? Or something soohisticated.

IT's easy...CNBCPRO is right on time but begins to buffer a minute or 2 in and create the lag
