Marex did the last time i checked....

This weekend saw the compulsory upgrade of all member-to-Access Point connections (both multi-channel and single channel) from 64k (or 4x64k) to 256k. This would potentially provide Deutsche-Boerse with the additional bandwidth to increase the broadcast rate. Cheers.

I'm surprised that with your "15 years" in the market and obviously extensive market knowledge you didn't pick up on this earlier. Perfect example of how to make yourself look like a complete mug though. Brightened up my morning no end.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. It certainly sounds interesting and as you say, more competition of this type can only improve the situation for the community as a whole. If you can get the guy on here we can give him the old thumbscrews and bright lights treatment...
