Bandwidth: How Much is Enough?

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to find out if it's necessary to upgrade my 2MBit DSL connection to avoid latency in case of order transmission or price updates in general.

 

Is there a way to monitor the used bandwith in a meaningful way?

Does it make sense to ping servers?

 

I'm trading through AMP Global (IB to Open E Cry) and use Sierra for charting. I'm trading short term with tick and volume charts.

Google for "NetMeter". I use it to meter my bandwidth usage. It's great in that it shows you the real-time usage and a small histogram and if you send it to the tray, you'll see the current usage there. It also keeps statistics of the past X weeks, months years. It's free.
