Yes, one of the things I'm not real happy with.

Signal's compression is not as tight as BMI's... that was another piece
of the technology that DBC bought with the BMI buyout. With the recent
"alignment of services (elimination of Bridge as BMI's ticker plant),
you will be getting exactly the same quotes with BMI as you would with
signal... probably roughly equal performance between BMI and
Signal/cable.
I'm going to miss the old BMI... lots of nice features that were never
available in Signal.
