I'm using TBSP. Although I am not using nearly as many quotes as you I timed
it all tonight. It took 1.5 minutes for about 165 quotes. That includes dial
up time ... It took 10 seconds to convert to MS format.
The data is 15.95 a month for 20,000 quotes. They have stocks, futures,
options, indexes ... Actually if you use their internet download it's
unlimited quotes. If your interested I believe their web page is www.tbsp.com
or drop me a line
