I've really become disappointed with WSJ Interactive. I was one of
their Betas, and subscribed went they went for the cash.

It's gotten so bad that I normally access their site with graphics
autoload off, but still end up doing other things while waiting for
their server to respond.

I almost never have any real problems with getting a Datek server.
I have windows open on 2 or 3 servers most of the time and if I
have a problem with one just switch windows. I also find that if
I don't see incoming data within 5 to 10 seconds, I just hit stop
and submit again and will get right in.

I think much of the dissapointment here regarding Datek is from those
who would like Datek's service to be the same as a broker sitting at
his trading console. (I don't think that's about to happen in the very
near future.)
