True. The Quote.com QFeed internet data service gets its data from the S&P Comstock feed. We collect every tick coming across that feed, clean it up with automatic data correction filters and store the historical data which is available instantly on demand.

Other vendors try to claim that QFeed is inherently slower than their feeds because we are an "indirect" service. However, in speed tests, it amazes me that we are consistently seconds ahead of some of these "direct" feeds, and we don't drop ticks when markets get busy. Even other applications reading the S&P Feed directly can lag QFeed. This is due to the fact that a QFeed application doesn't have to sip from the feed firehose to find the information it is looking for - the Continuum Servers do that and the application only has to deal with the information it is interested in.

So, yes, we get our data updates from S&P Comstock. It's what we do with it and how fast we handle it that sets QFeed apart and makes it a value-added service.

Cheers,
