How much a 2m connection worth?

Quote from qll:

How do you back up an internet connection?

I have cable internet on my trading computer and DSL on the surfing/backup trading computer. Here, cable has less latency than DSL.
 


Comcast Cable, $40 a month.
Very fast, that test was from my out-of-date laptop, on a wireless connection, one floor down and on the other side of the house.
I lub comcast!
 
I wouldn't be too concerned about your speed. I am a scalper and trade from Brazil. My down speed is just 1mb and my up is only 0.1mb. As pathetic as it may sound, I hardly get any slippage trading listed stocks. What really matters is your ping time to your order server. I get about 190ms avg in Brazil as opposed to 20ms when I was trading out of NY.

Cable connection of course.

My backup is a standard DSL connection for 19/mo. Never had the main go down, so never had to use.
