I use DTN satellite. I've run comparisons with internet based Quote.com using
the eminiSP contract. They are very comparable as to speed. Quote.com might
lead by a 1/2 to 1 second at times. The main reason I continue to use DTN is
its reliability vs the internet. As I live in a rural area even with two good
ISPs I have trouble maintaining a good internet connection.
I've used DTN since 1990 and found their customer service to be well about
average.
Hope this info helps.
