Hi John,

I have the same configuration as you with cable, TS2k and eSignal.  I
checked the tick count for Wed/Thu/Fri and had 151,700, 136,500 and 97,500
respectively (24hr).  I have both DSL through SWBell and Time Warner's
Roadrunner and have found both to be very reliable.

There's an alternative to HistoryBank if you're interested - Dynaloader for
eSignal - http://www.dynastoresoftware.com/Dynaloader/index.asp.  It costs
$120 per year but allows you to download the data directly from eSignal's
servers.

Bob
