This stream or that!

One of the biggest things I have struggled with over the time of being a Dj is which stream should I use and is one better than another!

Until recently I had been using a complay called Pulsestreams, who after an initial bit of a patchy start had a strong and reliable stream... I was using a server in the EU, they did have many others in the US at various locations.. I guess my question is, should you be choosing a hosting server thats close to your geographical location or doesnt it really matter?

Now my thoughts behind this are as follows, if your stream in to a closer server they are then boosting that transmition and then broardcasting it at a better bandwidth... I might be way off the mark with this but with anyluck some one might be able to steer me in the right direction... At present I am using a US hosting server and it seems to work really well, however I have only been using them a week or so but they have been good and the customer service has been very good :)

Anyone looking for a reasonable stream might look at people like nEo streams or Lusch Streams.. both seem good and stable and fairly priced as well .. All have there own stores in world :)
