bobby-Try covad.com. They just rolled out service in Seattle, and have a 144K DSL connection available just about anywhere in the city. Good luck, mine is scheduled for early next week.

sleepless, My quotes don't lag during heavy times -- I have cable. You might try reducing your data load during those times to see if it makes a difference. Level II was 2 minutes behind T/S at around 3pm yesterday, and it lasted for about 15min. I guess it's not that big a deal -- kind of confusing for a second. You just have to trade by the prices that are printing. MB acknowledged the problem and said a server screwed up or something. Would have been nice to have an alert for something like that. OTOH, traders probably know it before the techs do. wily
