Sovereign 1.52 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Site performance and availability are increasingly becoming the most important criteria online investors use in choosing their broker. Recent market volatility and the resulting performance problems experienced by leading brokers have made many investors consider alternate providers. Brokers are responding with heightened efforts to monitor web site performance and reliability. Additional investments in infrastructure and transaction capacity are being made to fill the gap. Don't expect improvements immediately, however; adding capacity and identifying bottlenecks will take time. For investors that are most performance sensitive, Gomez is delivering hourly updates of the five fastest Internet brokers. You can monitor the fastest brokers below and then use our scorecard to decide which broker may be best for you.
