London will always have the best connection — it's a major HFT hub.

Really, I can see the BT tower from where I live, I'm lucky to get < 200k/s.

my mother lives 100 miles to the north (coventry) and gets 5MB/s for free, and it actually -IS- 5MB/s

(free because of tv/phone package, and it's with Virgin)

HFT doesn't happen over the Internet. It happens between boxes within the same datacentre.
