Datek can be slow, but it should eventually be self-correcting since when they take over 1 minute for a marketable order (not necessarily a market) you get it for free. I've only paid for 2 of my last 5 trades. One of the 3 free ones was a limit order at the ask. Etrade can also be slow but at twice the price and never free. I think the Datek performance guarantee, though often not worth even an eigth of a point rise, shows commitment to improvement. OTOH, Datek has a limit of 5000 shares per trade, so if you like very small caps, go Etrade. They both have free 15 minute delayed 1 and 5 minute intra-day charts and free news. Datek also gives free real-time quotes. This allowed me to cancel my $30/month realtime quote service. Unfortunately, it gives only one quote at a time, with bid/ask/volume etc. But your current portfolio is calculated using realtime quotes. On performance, I've had market orders for CA not execute in 4 minutes for both Datek and Etrade, so I cancelled them! And they were nowhere near opening or closing time. Same with one or two NAZ stocks. No discernable pattern, just random in both cases. All in all, it depends on your needs.
