I could care less if anyone stays with esignal, dtn, realtick, neovest, or the likes. If you're going to complain about a software package (broker record) identify the problem, first. (8posts and counting) -twang
Smithtown/Hauppauge area long island new york. I have cablevisions optimum online with boost. Very low pings to most sites, no packet losses(internet really crawls when this happens), 25-30down and 5 plus up. I also have dsl through verizon for backup. Both connections had the same problems with esignal. I always switch connections when I think there is an internet problem, though optimum almost never goes down. Anyway I'll have fios once its available and I even might get a t1 in the future if prices come down enough. I have pretty much become my own tech guy since I moved from prop firm office and when there is a problem I will get to the bottom of it. All signs point to an esignal problem.
It seams pretty evident to me that the problem is Esignal. If you test different platforms on the same connection and only have problems with Esignal any monkey can deduce that the issue lies within Esignal. And when this has been proven with multiple competing platforms and connections then it simply makes it even more definitive. IMO
let me share my problem with the data that just started for me about 3 weeks ago. I will be up and running and the data will just stop for 10,15 30 seconds and then start running again. My data manager will be green and then sometimes turn red. If i wait long enough, sometimes a minute it comes back on. People a e-sig told me it could be server issue on their end. I have an internet connection during these down times
That sounds like a plausible explanation. And, not a to hard of fix. Except Esig could see it as a cost benefit with the cost being high relative to the benefit of a small number (relatively) of users. It would be interesting to see if those having problems are linked to the same servers. Assuming they use multiple servers.
>Twang2 I agree with you 120%. And I'm even farther away from eSignal than your group of 60 traders. I live in Tokyo!!
eSignal is GREAT!!! I have been using it since late '03 and had no problem with its data feed... until the last couple of weeks that is... ...I just canceled my subscription as of Friday...
