BMI's huge lag in futures

[IUhrik@xxxxxxx]

There were some posts here in past concerning the time lag in the futures 
data for various datafeeds. 

I was just comparing the S&P E-mini data delivered by BMI cable and that 
byThowsend Analytics' (TAL) delivered through internet (supplied by CME as 
a pilot program).

Over the past 30 minutes, in a period of a light activity, S&P E-mini on BMI
was consistently lagging the exchange data by 15-25 seconds. The thirty 
minutes' test was long enough for me to get thoroughy disgusted. 

Their bandwith limitations nothwithstanding, BMI should deliver data in a 
timely manner for at least a couple of major symbols, such as spoos and 
key indexes. 

I am sending a complaint to BMI. Anybody cares to join?
