Hello Dick,
I too have PCQuote and I have felt that they are actually getting
better. Now that they have the server farm. I however in my infinite
wisdom have chosen the $75/month service. I can do more in Excel than
what I could do with the canned charting program they offer for
$200+/month.
As far as the quotes they do get backed up some times. If it gets real
bad I'll check the quotes on Datek. Since Datek is very good when it
comes to the big volume days I have a good free backup. But for the most
part I have felt that they are making improvements in this area as well.
Some areas that can add to this problem is how far off the internet back
bone you are. The others are phone line quality, modem speed, memory and
CPU.
Not to turn this into a debate about PCQuote. My guess is that since you
are paying for the top service you are expecting better service. While
me paying for the $75/month service I am a little more tolerant. For
$75/month it is probable the best service. And you know (I hope you
know) that it is faster than Signal and a few other ones out in the
market.
Sorry to hear you are having trouble and I hope you get them worked out.
