So I'm working with a guy who MAY want to move a whole lot of data to the NYSE very quickly.

Currently he has a cable modem and a 25 ms. ping.

I was thinking "So we get a T-1" ... but I read on the Googles where T-1 and a cable modem are really about the same?

1] Are T-1 and a cable modem about the same? Up *and* down?

2] If the answer to #1 is yes, how do you get more speed? Move to Manhattan?
