After all of the talk about being "locked out" of the market, I can report that quotes and trades made by me over the past 3 days with DATEK were generally fast and with only a few minor delays. I believe that many people blame their internet broker when the fault lies with the internet connections and ISP's that they use. I did notice many attempts to log on to many stock service sites other than DATEK failed during the busy times and I recieved a number of failures to respond from some servers but not from DATEK. I believe that many ISP's have inadequate bandwidth and as a result the user gets messages that indicte time outs not due to DATEK but solely due to the intervening network service suppliers deficiencies.
