Re: Signal Cable vs BMI & CQG

Just to throw a monkey wrench into many contrary views, I have used Signal
cable for several years and have compared it with traders using BMI cable, BMI
satellite and CQG satellite.  Usually I am even or 1 second behind but not
more than 5 seconds.  This was always an INFORMAL test where we would call out
our new price over the phone.

There are several features on Signal which can make a difference on cable but
you can ask the same questions if you are a satellite user.  First, Signal has
several different settings that are used to send data (Don't ask me why they
do it but they do).  I had a serious time delay until I switched to
INTERNATIONAL feed on cable and then I became competitive with everyone else.
However, most of the time Signal automatically transmits on domestic which
sounds good but is slower.

If you use Signal, you must call Tech Support, ask what settings you currently
have for your account and then ask what could be done to speed up the
transmissions.  Let them tell you because they are changing things very fast
these days.  Good luck.
