ISDN Lines are great for around $100 a month. You still need an ISP to call. Your could try direcpc. In terms on order execution you have two choices. Internet or leased line. Satellite upstream is not available. Satellite services are downstream only for internet in the case of direcpc or for quote data in the form of BMI, DTN, CQG. CQG is a extremely robust system for around $800/mo. cqg.com AB Wately offers there ultimate trader with direct leased line access to their network via frame relay. Dunno the cost here. Probably several hundred a month. ($300 for the direct connection plus fees for data, etc., you can execute trades directly from withtin their technical analysis application.) abwatley.com Of course you also have bloomberg with I beleive is around $1500 a month. Most of these people advertise in TASC or IBD. Access to internet via cable modem there is never a busy signal your connected 24/7, same with ADSL from the Phone Co if available. Hope this helps...
