I hear ya gypsy! I use Investorline and they tend to be fairly slow too. Although they tend to fill orders in 3-5 minutes most of the time. I have never had a fill more than 10 minutes after it was placed (even when I place it just as the market is opening, which must be one of the busiest times)

It can be annoying though with fast movers.

If I had 2 lines (I have to tie up my only phone line to be online) I would probably use telephone trading (the automated system - not a live trader) to enter my trades. It gives the same low commission as online trading through Investorline. I figure that way I could get the order in faster, and THEN I could go on hold to get through to a trader and use them to confirm my trade (and/or fill) 5 minutes after I place the order (assuming 5 minutes on hold). But then again, I have never tried electronic telephone trading, so it might be as slow to fill an order as using the internet? (but at least it is an alternative when the websites go down!!)
