My favorite real-time service is Reuters, hands down. I've worked for
thirteen years as a trader on the Montreal Exchange and have had a
chance to use most of the big vendors (i.e. - Telerate, AIQ, StarData,
FutureSource, TrackData, PC Quote and others.). Being a TradeStation EOD
user, I have to admit that the technical analysis is BASIC but
functional.

- Key atributes: Incredibly reliable and absolutely  the fastest quotes.
Other vendors, particularly  Telerate (with or without Tradestation) and
TrackData  have more features but are incredibly slow and unreliable
particularly at peak times when you need them most, such as the first
and last half hours of the day.

I tried PC Quote for a time and found it very good but I couldn't rely
on my isp. Also, it was new and, like most new vendors, they usually
slow down as they get more subscribers.
