Bridge is an alternative.   You should be aware they had significant
problems with missing strike prices and inconsistent file names and I
think occassionally inconsistent price scales about a year or two ago. 
To the extent that i use them, this seems to have been fixed.  However,
if you are buying past data, you would want to check with them that they
corrected the historical files.   Looks like $125 gets you a complete
data base (settlement prices only) from 1989.  Or you can get individual
data at $30/market-year.

I get their end of day data including options.  It seems to include most
but not all strike prices now.  I have not purchased historical data
from them.
