switched,

20-30

real-time

> c) CQGNet - appears to be rather complete however carries extreme premium
> pricing. The Nov00 review of real-time feeds in Futures magazine showed it
> to have among the worst error rates and low internet reliability.
>
> d) Bridge/FutureSource - other traders have mentioned that Bridge appears
> to be in deep financial trouble so I'm reluctant to consider their new
