The problem is that no matter where you go, you will have the same problems.  
If you go to some daytrading firm, you will not be aware of the problems as 
you trade.  The same problems will exist but you will not know about it.  
Ignorance is bliss until the first time that you lose your money because of 
these problems.  Also if you are talking about trading stocks, several 
traders have posted that many of the speed advantages are no longer valid.  
As a futures trader I cannot verify it but you want to be aware of this also.
