Internet vs phone: I would like to know in these time of Internet congestion (and broker's servers inadequacies) how many of you trade over the phone for speed and convenience (stop or other special order) with a person, not the "press too many buttons to get there" automated service. Many time this week I had to call for a trade because I simply couldn't log to InvestorLine (don't laugh, there isn't much choice here in Quebec). The phone service is okay, but it cost more. I can say that InvestorLine use to be okay via the Net. But three weeks ago, it became unusable. If I can log, a market order can take 15-20 minutes to go through. I've seen 45 minutes for a confirmation. They have this notice on their page: << InvestorLine Clients, With the recent increase in market volatility and activity, our Online Broker service is experiencing some performance challenges. We are working around-the-clock to increase the speed of our site. As an alternative, you may want to use our Automated Telephone Service. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your continued support. >> Well, I won't support them for long now. If anyone knows of a big bank that have a better Internet service, please share. IdiotJed
