Sorry, no sympathy from me. We have on our desks more technology
available to us at home than the traders at the top Wall Street houses
had 10 years ago. If you want better reliability, make the investment in
a T1 and some leased lines into your broker. It is up to you -- you are
not forced to accept anything. You just have to pay for what you want.
There's also a lesson here from history. In the late 19th century there
was a bicycle craze when the pneumatic tire was invented. People did
everything on bicycles. There were marathons and other races, soccer
matchs, dances, formal dinners.
There was one gripe -- there were only dirt roads, muddy when wet and
uneven all the time. It took a long time for enough people to complain
before someone got the idea and said, "Hey, let's spend a lot of
taxpayers money on laying down concrete or tar so people on bicycles
have a flat road to ride on!" As you can imagine, people not interested
in the bicycle were upset at this notion -- why should they pay for
someone else to have a flat road?
The bicycle started the trend for flat roads in the cities, although it
wasn't until the advent of the automobile that things really got going.
I guess my point is, you're complaining that a road built for horse and
buggy isn't flat enough for your bicycle. My question is, who's going to
pay to flatten it?
