24/7 Wall St. did an online survey asking visitors to its website which discount broker give the best service. With 106 respondents, these are the results:

Scottrade                    29%

Schwab  (SCHW)         23%

TDAmeritrade (AMTD)   23%

E*Trade (ETFC)            10%

Zecco                           8%

TradeKing                     4%

OptionsXpress (OXPS)   4%

Perhaps problems at E*Trade are catching up to it in the court of public opinion.
