Re: Cancelling DTN

My suspicion is that this applies only if you are on an annual payment plan. Perhaps you can talk to a supervisor and cancel w/a penalty payment. Perhaps you can change to a minimal delayed data feed and save most of your payment.

Hope this helps.

Caution: if you currently subscribe to a DTN data feed, be very aware of your contract date.

Due to some construction upheaval, I haven't been able to find my DTN contract. I foolishly assumed they had a reasonable subscription term, like Quote.com and BMI before them: one year contract reverting to a month-to-month renewal. Bad assumption.

After 2.5 years I decided I'd had enough of DTN and attempted to cancel. They informed me that my subscription ran through August, and they would continue charging me every month until then. I protested, demanded to speak to a supervisor, said if they were going to renew for a year they should have the basic decency to notify the customer before the rewewal date (and he sounded surprised that I *hadn't* gotten a notice), etc, but their response was basically "too bad sucker, we've got your gonads in a vise so we're going to take another $774 from you."
