Jay:
I don't get it. They are offering to continue your delayed service for the
same price as real time and you are complaining? The CME charges only 10$
and all the level 1 stocks are 4$. I would say this is quite a deal and
should improve the speed of the service. Granted, the other exchanges are
still in the rip-off age, but if you just trade indices or stocks, you may
have a hard time beating the present offer of bmi.
Best wishes,
Don
