Hi. We don't want you to waste any money that you don't have to!

You're confusing latency with bandwidth. latency vs bandwidth - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=latency+vs+bandwidth&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)

Because of our server side (i.e. "cloud" or "thin client") architecture, you are insulated from most of the bandwidth issues. Bringing high bandwidth into your computer may be required for hulu, but you don't need it for our software. In fact, I travel a lot, and TI Pro gives me surprisingly good results even when I use my cell phone as a modem!

We also make the most of a network, regardless of the latency. TI Pro uses a push architecture to make sure the alerts get to you as quickly as possible, minimizing the effects of the latency in your network. When people say "cloud" they often mean HTTP, which would be far slower than what we offer.

As for the times that you are reporting, that's more than sufficient for any trading that is partially manual. If you're looking at a stock that we recommend, maybe pulling up a stock chart or a level 2, that time will be too small to notice. If you're working on arbitrage between two ECN's, lets us know and we'll talk colocation with you.
