I've been using CompuServe for commodity quotes and except for a couple of
glitches recently, haven't had a problem in several years. Only download a
few stocks and indices so I can't vouch for that part of their service. As
I remember, it cost me $9.95 a month plus $.01 a quote.
I also tried Prophet and couldn't get a reliable download via the Internet.
Would make several attempts before I was able to get most of my data. On
other days, I had no problems whatsoever. Finally gave up. Their S&P
Continuous contracts were wrong also, but they did correct them. I'm not
sure if they went back and actually fixed their history.
Most of the other futures data providers suffer from many problems, just
look at Reuters.
I might take a look at Pinnacle. Willing to try anyone if I can get off
CompuServe and drop that account.

Thanks for the info!
It's to bad we don't have a single quality data service that can deliver
stock, fund, index and commodity quotes with one download.
