I've been using Fastmail for four years, from Los Angeles, which is 
about the same distance.  Speed has been fine.

Regarding moving to Fastmail (in December, 2015), they have their own 
migration tool, so I tried it with a small account.  It does get the job 
done, but it's rather slow, and the only indication of progress was 
three tiny dots flashing in the very small new mail count icon on their 
web page.  So, I decided to use imapsync for my own mail (40,000+ 
messages in 170 folders). I went into work where I have my own OC-3, 
thinking well, it should be quite zippy there.  I did see 3.8MB/sec from 
my old server, but Fastmail topped out at just 872KB/sec, so I could've 
just stayed home...

This is a very nice, actively maintained tool for migrating IMAP 
accounts -
