I agree that Datek has many problems (partial fills, poor market order execution, not always representing an order, etc.), but I've been able to trade very successfully over the past 4 weeks (7-10 trades/day, 250% gain). Sure, some trades were not optimal, but I can't blame Datek for all of the poor trades. The streaming quotes has been indispensable, but certainly level II would help improve some of my trading decisions.

As for the paper confirmations, I wouldn't mind if they just saved them up for a week and then sent them out. However, I have to say that the email confirmations have been very timely as of yesterday.
