GoDaddy is ok, but the servers are really loaded up..
Rackspace Cloud is better for high traffic from all locations..
Some of my servers are in Baltimore MD and they are about medium to my area for speed.
And I have a hybrid server in North Carolina at the university, the server is really fast, but the latency to my area can be an issue from time to time.
edit:
you can do a trace route to see how many jumps or hops the traffic takes.
in windows, hit start, run, type > cmd, in the terminal box type > tracert www.example.com
