I use a local ISP and never worry about being cut off during a trading day or max
usage of 8 hours at a time. My data feed comes from PC quote Level II. Now,
when I'm not trading, then I have to worry about the 15 min, non-movement rule (
they cut you off).
The only time my ISP asked that customers limit their use to 8 hours, was when he
was upgrading systems and expanding his building. After that never heard from
them again.
If you can talk to the techs, not the owner or bubble head. They should be able
to hook you up.
