I have used DTN for about 4 years. First with thier WallStreet product
which is 9600 baud "snapshot" every two minutes of what ever you will.
I used it in conjunction with Integrated Financial Software/Services
screen for downloading into ascii.
I have used the Real time sinc Oct 1997. Up until the satellite debacle
they were a superior service. They are now broadcasting from Telestar 5
which should provide a solid service. I have always found the service
people very very helpful and available.
I got that DTN didn't have a contingency plan for a downed bird. This
really affected their service. The place turned into chaos.. I believe
now that they are resolving the situation. Why, I don't expect Telestar
5 to go down. Also it has a signal strength considerable stronger than
their previous G3 solution. The reciever wouldn't pull in the signal in
California..
As for the feed it is very fast. I can be talking to my Chicago broker
and quotes change at the same time.. The INDU will have as many as 15 to
20 ticks a minute.
Hope this helps.
