AT, your comments and warnings, are appreciated for their sincerity for your fellow traders. However, allow me some levity for a moment please. I sympathize with your predicament (and I'm sure Tim and other ABW clients would concur). If anything, I would hope and wish you success in your trading. But, lets not blame ABW for everything. Granted, PCQuote screws up, ABW goes down or something happens....but its rare. I have not had even a fraction of the problems you've had. My local mom and pop ISP (i live in the boonies presently) goes out, there's only so much yelling and screaming i can do. I dialup a long distance # for ELNK or MSPG and deal with it. Unfortunately, xDSL, cable or any form of reasonable bandwidth (even ISDN) is not available to me. First and foremost, when receiving real time data is the integrity of your connection. I'm not suggesting this is the only problem you have, but perhaps it may be a partial solution to some of your previous problems. Best of luck.
