my appologies " Publically " to Carroll !
jumped the gun !!
- BMI uses Bridge Communications - option quotes have been lagging for some
time - the past two weeks indeces/indexes as well as equities have been as
well -
- quoted from a source at BMI in tech a few days ago the options & related
indeces will be switched from Bridge to direct exchane accees - with the
equities & indexes to follow sometime in December - but the problem is
holding on till this happens -
- even friends i know using BMI on dish are not having the same data gaps
as what is happening on the cable feed-
and yes the channel is C-SPAN; which is not interrupterd via commercials -
the service has been great up till the beginning of this year when there
was a noticeable decline in option quotes - at the time BMI said that
equities had " first " priority on heavy volume days - and .....the news
services would not get the priority that "was "
allotted to the equities -
if Signal is not having these " delay/data gap" problems - switching even
temporarily may not be so bad !
again Carroll - appalogies for the impatient outburst - BMI is really
putting the press on here !
