This is true of BMI as well, even running at 38Kb.  A BMI tech verified
that option bid/asks are reliable only for most-actives, and in fact any
option which didn't trade "yesterday" rarely gets a bid/ask update
delivered (it falls to the carousel, or background, to update).  Almost
makes a live link to your broker-buddy mandatory.

Does anyone have any info about DTN and their delivery of equity options
quotes?  Do they even offer this service?
