It could have been that it was a light trading week, or it could be that there were no connectivity problems.

Datek Online was up all week except for scheduled down time to upgrade some network segments.

Here is some advise: Do not use a bookmarked server. Apparently, a lot of people use orders6, thinking its faster than another server. In practice, its slower, since so many people connect to it.

The best way to connect to datek online is to use the login button. This will connect you to the fastest server.

On a more detailed note, the MCI connection is not any faster than our other connections, despite the posts stating otherwise on this thread. It depends on how and where you connect to the internet.

Datek Online will have a direct connection to all 8 backbones within 3 months, making such questions irrelevent.
