I am constantly told by Quote.com users that I trade with 'virtually' that
they lag my prices coming from eSignal. I have come to trust quotes from my
broker (InteractiveBrokers) and IB and eSignal invariably agree. I have
heard few if any complaints about data timeliness from current users of
eSignal.

Currently they support 30 days of intraday data, which I believe is an
increase since you last used it. I hear they will offer 60 days 'soon'. Not
sure what 'soon' means.

That's about the only criticism I have of eSignal. I wish they supported
delayed data mixed with real time. But it hasn't been a big issue for me,
as I use EOD data for most such purposes from other vendors.
