Checkout Thinkgrid.com: They have hosted desktops in a DC data center < 4ms to NY, 20ms to Chicago 100mb connectivity. You can load up your software... Use their windows or java client. logmein.com is a decent low bandwidth client allowing you to control your hosted desktop and trade from any browser or even an iphone.
Here is the trade off: Your trading platform processes data feeds and order triggers at near exchange speed. Your screen updates will be delayed by 1/2 your net latency but your not pushing anything other than screen updates and mouse events. Works well for automated trading and most discretionary traders... but if you are accustomed to 4 monitors with lots of charts and streaming video this is not a good fit. If you can trade on a single monitor this is worth trying.
