>Stop your whining will you,you guys make me sick.
Then stop reading the posts - works for me.
>Cybercorp has the best execution platform bar none...
I agree - that is why I am here.
>if you are having disconect problems thats not Cybercorp's fault.
Maybe, maybe not - it seems by your post that your don't really understand just how the system works.
>I rarely have problems getting kicked off ...i am on a 128kbps 2-channel isdnline solely used for data using UUnet as my isp.
Well, bully for you - hate to mention this but that is the same as I have and many, many others here THAT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS have far faster connections.
>I sometimes do a continuous ping to the gateway at cybercorp..my ping times are at on average 100ms, best being 78ms worse being mid 200's when either trading is very heavy like at the close or open or if UUnet is having routing congestion or switch problems.
So? You happen to be one of the lucky ones that has a clean route to and from Cyber and you think you have done something wonderful?
>You guys need to understand the cybercorp's value is its software.
ONLY if you have the ability to USE THE SOFTWARE in a timely manner - of late, it appears many do not.
>If you are having connection problems get rid of that crappy isp you are using.
Suggest you call your ISP and get them to explain to you just how the internet works.
>If you want to trade during the day you need the infrastructure on your side dont blame Cybercorp.Cybercorp provides the software and brokerage capabilites not the internet connectivity.
Wrong - Cyber HAS AS MUCH CONTROL OVER THEIR INTERNET CONNECTION AS YOU DO YOURS. They can contact their ISP to see about routing around known problem areas on the net JUST AS YOU CAN.
>Try ISDN or a reliable dsl or cable connection.
And again, hate to give you facts, however -
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU HAVE A MILLION kbps CONNECTION, all that speed just gets you to YOUR ISP FASTER. Once you enter your ISP it does not matter what you have from that point forward. IF your ISP - CYBER'S ISP on the streaming data COMING TO YOU - is routed through problem areas on the net you are delayed - - and no connection on your end will solve that problem.
>To be honest with you i think trading or at least active trading(scalping) during the day is very difficult without the best of connections.
Certainly true.
>I have made $40k since coming over to Cybercorp ...my goal is to make another $60k in the next 6 months to a year and move up to a frame relay line..probably a 256kbps/256cir.
If, "after trying every other software platform on the market for years" you are only planing to average $500.00/day for the next six months I suggest you do some serious studying as to what you are doing wrong with your trading.
>In the meantime stop your whining about the same crap and get better internet connectivity or beat it..use this board for more relevant topics like software topics where Cybercorp is resposible for the good and bad.
I suggest to you that your "6 months" with Cyber makes you a Johnnycomelately around here - if you don't like what is posted here, go elsewhere.
And I would love to "quit whining about the same crap" IF CYBER WOULD ADDRESS THESE ISSUES!!!
It has been very noticably of late that they don't want to do so.
Cyber is a good product but unfortunatelly over the last few months it seems to be degrading. The quality of the connections, the service and the attitude has changed. There are many of us that hate to see a very, very good product and company go down the tubes and if pointing out the good, the bad and the ugly here will get someone's attention then maybe we can stop this slide.
