You don't say who you are changing from.
I use Dial Data because of the seamless integration with the CD ROM Omega
distributes. The trick, then, is figuring out how to get decent data from
Dial Data. Not an easy task.
Downloading data before 7pm eastern is useless, full of errors. By 11pm it
is a lot better but still has some errors. I download automatically about
5am at which time it is "pretty good". Then, if I am doing a critical
study, I delete all data back to the end of the CD ROM data and reload all
data for the markets in question. Takes no time at all. This data is
usually very good up until the last day or two.
