Brentsky, that was not my experience at all. Friday morning was awful for everybody. MB and Cyber both were getting slow feeds. MBT's feed from S&P Comstock held up very well all week. I was nervous about it due to the high volume, but they really came through (again). I had the best week ever. Sorry to hear your feed was slow. Good Luck, funk

Brent, I'm in US West country and a 28.8 Sprint line. My MM boxes had no trouble loading but the early action was herky-jerky. I'm waiting for my call waiting so I can use both lines of my new Shotgun. Have had a number of trades not go off recently even though listed offers, etc said they should have. All I can conclude is the data I'm looking at may not be as "real-time" as it is supposed to be (using a TN affiliate). Alan

Brent, Bill and all: Heavy trading volume continues in the markets this week. Has Cyber-Broker been able to improve the feed to you? Brent, you say the feed was 'awful' last week but didn't say how far behind it was or what you are comparing it to. What does Cyber say the source of the problem is? Is the problem the feed Cyber gets from PCQuote, or processing all that data in the CyberServers, or do they say 'net congestion'? Brent,as a test: if you were to monitor only ONE hot stock on your system is IT delayed? With that minimal data demand you could rule out intertnet lag which would be less than .5 second, and would point the finger at either Cyber's servers or PCQutoe. (your 30k modem would probably not be a limiting factor in that test) Paul
