Slow performance dogs biggest online brokers
Online brokerage sites operated by E-Trade Group and Charles Schwab ranked last
among 20 in an analysis of e-brokers' availability and online performance.
E-Trade had an average success rate downloading all the content of 92.8 percent,
and Schwab scored 97 percent, according to a report by Keynote Systems. E-Trade
delivered its home page, on average, in 13 seconds, while Schwab took 27 seconds
during the period measured, last week. Top-performing brokers on the Net were
Web Street and Waterhouse, which delivered their pages in about three seconds,
and were accessible more than 99.5 percent of the times tested. Keynote said it
will monitor the 20 largest online brokerage firms and publish the daily and
weekly results on its Web site (http://www.keynote.com/measures/brokers).
