Re: Sattelite datafeed faster than landlines ?

 My DTN satellite quotes for TS2000i with Digi high speed serial card are
typically with 1/2 second of the CME and CBOT quotes I receive on JTrader
via very stable, very fast (+1200) cable modem.  Still, DTN satellite is
more stable than the net.

Good Trading,
Jim Alvis
