I've got a friend in Minnesota (I'm in Vancouver, BC, Canada area) who is
also using Cybercorp. We compare notes over the phone most trading
days. Quite often he's having no problems with Cyber while I'm having
problems and vice versa. It seems to depend on which of their servers
you're connected to -- something that seems to be somewhat random but may
be dependent on your IP address or something. Our problems are rarely that
Cyber is completely down, just weird things happening like level II totally
freezing up, or one or more charts freezing or T&S being delayed compared
to other services. Often, but not always, shutting down cybertrader and
starting it up again clears up the problem, but that can be a major
distraction if one is in a trade when it happens. -uf
