[realtraders] E-Signal vs BMI {04}



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

I have the aforementioned internet feed through Mytrack.  I ran two 
computers side by side.  One on a standard phone line through an ISP and the 
other through a cable modem.  There was NO speed difference in displaying 
prices.  Of course, there is a huge difference when downloading graphics but 
I guess that the price data packets are small enough so as not to make a 
difference.

Hope this helps,
Howard
