    Wireless has a lower minimum latency than wired, that’s why trading houses set up relay towers from Chicago to NYC, in order to achieve the lowest possible latency for their trades between the two markets.

    Wired gives better stability, due to almost zero interference noise. The primary cause of sucky WiFi speeds/stability, is having too many other people’s routers nearby.

      No shit?

      I mean copper runs at 2/3 the speed of light.

      Wireless is pretty much the speed of light.

      I thought they used dedicated fiber for their links.
