Hi Earl,
I have used PC Quote for a long time with few issues, and the issues that
did come up were almost always related to Omega. I haven't used their
standalone product but know several traders who do and recommend it highly.
I recently switched over to CQG due to the lack of Eurex/Liffe data for
Omega products and have been more than satisfied. I haven't experienced
any of the problems the magazine article mentioned. They are supposed to
release a CQGNet "lite" sometime soon which is supposed to cost around $250
a month versus the current $400. I don't have any additional details on it
though.
One other provider you may want to checkout is A-T Financial at
www.atfc.com.
Hope this helps,
Bob Heisler
