What's the best location for US and EU website visitors?

Undoubtedly, NJ is cheaper than NYC. There's probably minimal differences between NJ and NYC, but shouldn't NYC have better peering?

The difference is probably so minuscule you can just go for NJ instead of NYC for web hosting, but maybe there are use cases like day trading where it matters.

One of the most prominent data centers serving the financial services sector is called Equinix NY4. It’s in Secaucus, N.J., and home to the “matching engines” that support trades for several major exchanges. These matching engines uses algorithms to allocate competing trades among competing bids and offers priced the same. The Equinix NY4 building is large enough to hold five football fields, and is one of cluster of Equinix facilities in Secaucus that have played a role in the rise of digital trading.

I don't feel like reading all of that but Frantech had said that it's new york for real if I recall

Okay, I'm convinced... Apparently Equinix NY4 hosts 49 exchanges (maybe more today) so NJ could potentially be better for day trading than NYC. I understand your love for NJ now, but I would prefer Secaucus, NJ or NYC over Piscataway. And I would prefer Piscataway to Buffalo. You get the idea...
