OpenTick Out of Business ?

I agree. This has come up before and they always ended up coming back. The thing is they're really a beta test bed so their service isn't guaranteed. I like 'em cuz they're dirt cheap and their feed is fast and stable when it's up.

I just called their phone number and got their machine so at least that's still up LOL.
 
I have TOS and OT feed.
OT has been great - a few glitches here and there but not bad at all for $18 per month. I look forward to their full-blown product.

To opentick subscribers, friends, supporters, contributors and the rest of the community...
It has been quite a journey for opentick, and for those of you who have been with us for the ride we cannot thank you enough for the support, contributions and guidance you have given us over the course of the last 5 years. We could not have come as far as we have without you.

However, we are sad to say that the time has come for us to close the doors for opentick. However, this isn't goodbye. In fact, it's a new beginning. We will be introducing a fresh service with all the bells and whistles we've been slaving on over the course of the last year under a new name, a new website and a new level of service. Check back here in the near future for more information about the forthcoming new company and service. Of course amongst all these changes, there are some things that will remain the same - we still aim to provide a reliable free market data service, with an open architecture for a wide range of software platform support.

If you are a current paying subscriber, this March billing cycle will be your final billing cycle; at your next billing date service will be terminated. If you are a delayed or historical data user not currently paying for service, your account will be deactivated as of Friday, March 20th.

Sincerely,
opentick Staff

One day, we shall come back. Yes, we shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to us we are not mistaken in ours............"
 
So, it's done.
When they come back, they will probably charge ~$100/mo.

I will not subscribe, for sure. Hist Data Quality was crappy as it could be, really !

(Holes, Spikes, completely out-of-band/wrong data, strange extra data for saturdays/sundays, no splits/dividend adj, etc etc)
 
would it be possible for someone to help me out and get me some tick data since you can't sign up for an account right now? Thanks in advance.
