for anyone really considering this, i would imagine that with the
decimalization changes coming in July for stocks and options, this service
will degreade even further. it was bad back in october and from what i've
been told it's still bad. if they don't cut out some some more of their
service (like some stocks and all stock options) then i'm sure the added
decimalization load will impact futures.
is this new price just for cable subscribers or does it include satellite?
if it includes both then if i was a BMI sat subscriber i'd be real real
nervious asking myself why are they giving this away? don't be fooled,
espcially with DBC you get what you pay for (and usually a lot less). i'd be
asking myself what do they know that i don't. then i'd pick up the phone
and look for another vendor.
