No, there are a big difference's between them, 50ms - 190ms.
But now when I thinking about it, I don't need to check it to an Chicago server I need to check it to the
Interactive Brokers server, how can I do that???

Here's a speedtest check from Manila to Chicago. As you see internet speed and latency really sucks for a $40/month line. This is a shared line and our "awesome" telcos have "Fair Use Policy" which we are capped at about 5-10GB per day. Some are worse at 5-10GB per month.

I have the Double Play Package from Comcast. My readings 60.11 Mbps Download and 12.16 Mbps Upload Speed. I did see the Triple Play Package with speeds of 110 Mbps. I guess the faster the better. I'm paying $125 per month. I think

Bandwidth has no benefit to trading. Only latency, which is dictated by where you live (distance from Chicago for example).
