Hi Quickcat, Check with sapper Message 14923778 I'm also thinking about seriously switching to Sympatico's DSL line. It's not that expensive and a hell of a lot better than my existing dial-up service. Take care, cometguy

Quickcat, sorry, I don't think I can help, but I wanted to respond because I use an almost identical setup to what you described and I have NO PROBLEMS. I am in Calgary, using the @HOME cable service. I have a Pentium III 550 with 384 meg memory (so lots of power), I usually start a live ticker loaded with a dozen stocks and then I will open 3 or 4 market depth windows and 1 daily chart using 1 minute intervals. Like I said, never any problems. I am curious about one thing ... who is your cable provider? Mine is Shaw ... and I have no complaints about @HOME (except for their recent e-mail delivery problems, but that seems to have cleared up now). However I do hear lots of complaints from @HOME subscribers who receive their service from Rogers. There may be something to what CSW is telling you. Good Luck
