Can anyone please advise me on some good online UK stockbrokers:
My critieria:
1. A Robust System. Should be able to trade in busy market conditions. Mornings at 8am.
2. Low transaction cost. My limit is £12.50 per trade, can this be bettered?
3. No inactivity fees.
4. No management fees.
5. Good corporate actions department.
I am fed up with Selftrade. They are a financial liability, whereby not allowing me to buy and sell shares at the best market price; I'm losing out big time. This is the result of their IT system breaking down most mornings.
For example:
----------------------------
Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

5 May 2009 - 10am update.
We're experiencing slow system performance this morning. We've identified the source of the issue with a third party order flow provider that we, along with a number of other brokers, use to receive share prices. We've been in constant contact with them since market open and as of 9.40am they've confirmed they've identified the source of the problem and deployed a fix to their system. We are constantly monitoring the interaction between our system and the third party provider but in the meantime to aid improvement of our performance, as at 10am, we've turned off Limit Order Manager. We will reintroduce this as soon as possible.
Please continue to call our Customer Service Team on 0845 0700 720 to place your manual orders, at best on a best endeavours basis.
We apologise that we're not able to fully service your business and thank you for your patience whilst we resolve this matter with the third party provider.
