If the Colorado outfit you refer to is the one I am thinking of, they were
doing a shuck and jive where they subscribed to the units all at their
location (allowing for additional unit/same location reduced futures
excange fees, a SUBSTANTIAL discount) they then "sold" the service
themselves as an unofficial reseller. I don't believe that DTN nor the
exchanges would be very receptive to that type of arrangement.
Service is via 800# customer support, usually less than 2 minutes holding
time (it can be much longer for very bad days, it happens but rarely).
Most parts of the country can have a local DTN representative at your
location to give demonstrations/training/service etc. I usually recommend
setting up a free trial and comparing us side by side with your current
service for a month.

Any DTN folks care to comment on costs for the feed...upfront and
monthly
exclusive of exchange fees. What about outages? Service? Any
comparisons,
good or bad, with BMI.
What about that Colorado outfit who carried BMI at a discount before BMI
shut them down. Have they gone to DTN too?
I knew from prior experience with DBC that when they acquired Signal,
it
would go to shit. Then I switched to BMI. When BMI and DBC teamed up, I
knew DBC would destroy BMI's quality feed. Although it took longer than
I
had originally thought, it's now time to switch again, but to which
feed?
