Guy:
I switched from Dial Data to Reuters in 7/96 and have had no major problems
with Reuter's EOD feed for stocks and indices. Reuter's fee is based on the
type of feed you need (i.e. equity $ xx/mo, mutual funds $ xx/mo, indices $
xx/mo, etc...). You will pay a higher per month fee than if you prepay for
the year. I prepaid for the year for EOD equity & indices for $ 377. It
averages out to about $ 32/mo.
Included in that price is unlimited equity and unlimited indices download
for as far back and as many ticker symbols Reuters has in their database.
There were a couple of days where the data was not there for me to download
but for the most part, their track record is pretty good ... at least from
my perspective.
Thanks,
