Interesting find of today Zerodha, Dhan, and Upstox all host their live trading engines and WebSockets directly inside AWS Mumbai (`ap-south-1`). If you run your trading bot on a standard AWS Mumbai EC2 instance, your orders and market ticks travel entirely over AWS's internal datacenter fiber instead of the public internet. This cuts your network latency down to 1 millisecond TO 5 millisecond levels—essentially giving you budget "co-location" speed without paying premium server fees.

that's not what colocation speed is bro. co location literally means you are hardwired with exchange's network itself. you are still few milliseconds behind it which you will never know because you are getting feed from broker and not directly from exchange. I have seen co location speed and had bought dump data too. it's insane and the difference it makes is ridiculous when you trade with large capital. you can use vultr server and get similar latency too.

  Dhan is one of the worst. even data quality is extremely bad. just my opinion. others may like it and never faced issues.

    I had used their option chain endpoint and built system on it and it was fine while mcx data had issues
