That's a little faster but... 2 minutes and 5 seconds is still too long to wait to access a server. And that was at 8:20am when there's no traffic with a 28Kb Sportster. If I only made 5 trades per year and hung on to the stock for months then this would be fine. But anybody doing anything remotely close to daytrading is going to get hurt sooner rather than later....

All I can say Peter is Datek isn't the way they were a year ago... And I'm not happy with it. You're getting worst instead of better in this aspect....

Regards..

Peter, any updates on improvements in Datek's NYSE order handling? Waiting almost a minute just to get your order represented by Datek's third market firm is a pain compared to your Nasdaq speed.
