I'm thinking of switching too and would also like to know what
people think about the various online brokers. I would have
been 110% satisfied with Datek if I only had been able to get
to their servers more often - except for that I haven't got a
single bad word to say about them! Sadly Datek isn't what it
used to be - are they a victim of their own success maybe?

A month ago I opened an account at Brown & Co. brownco.com
I've been very pleased. Almost instant executions on market orders, and price improvement often comes with limit orders. At $5 for a market order and $10 for a limit the price is right. Same price on the telephone, with sixteen 800 numbers. I didn't plan for the Brown account to take over most of the trading I've been doing at Datek, but that's what's happened.
