Thean: Better Connection to Webbroker?

I know this is a off your subject message, but wanted to get it posted somehow to this thread.

I'm a new Waterhouse customer and began to experience problems during trading hours connecting to webbroker like some of you reported. I spoke with an ES rep who told me there were ten webbroker servers and that I could experiement with them to see which worked best for me with my ISP or at different times when I'm having trouble getting through.

Basically, you create ten variants of:

webbrokerxx.waterhouse.com

where XX = 1, 2, ..., 10

and bookmark them. this is a little hokey, but, hey, if it works, better to use it until something better comes along.

Is anyone still using www1.waterhouse.com and do they really think that helps? Any other suggestions, other than the obvious? Has anyone ever heard of a patch to speed up browsing called "mtufixes"? If so, where can I find?

Appreciate your comments ...

Theodore
