cynical but directionally correct, the offer is a retention and volume tool, not charity. the clean way to use it: if your normal trading already clears the threshold, take the free vps and enjoy it. if it doesnt, pay for an independent vps and keep your trading decisions free of any volume incentive. never let infrastructure perks steer your trade frequency.
good outcome. 6ms is already well past the point of diminishing returns for anything but serious automated scalping. spend your energy on the strategy and broker quality, the latency box is already ticked for you.
in mt5 hover the connection status or check the server name in your account details, then ask the brokers support directly which datacenter hosts that trade server. most are in london or new york equinix facilities. pick a vps in the same metro and your latency drops to single-digit milliseconds, which is all that matters for execution.
