I have 5 accounts with Schwab, cannot access any of them today. Cannot even get hold of a human. I came to this thread to shop, will look further, I guess. Maybe No one is open to us little folks today. Sheri

>It's not just Datek that is freezing out their customers. I have accounts with two other brokerage firms and have been unable to log on to either all morning. When I call customer service I get busy signals. Is their a conspiracy here? Over the last 30 minutes (12:00 EST or so), I've been using Datek with no problems. Haven't actually fired off any trades yet (did put in a couple, but decided not to confirm them) - everything looks normal from this end. Response time is good, too. I've been on both orders8 and orders, fwiw. bobk
