Yea looks interesting, i'm with TDwaterhouse, service has been great so far, very fast, however they charge me 9.95 atm per trade action.

The site is very, very basic. It's basically a buy and sell affair. I haven't relied on it for anything else whatsoever. I don't think they offer any telephone brokering, simply customer support.
In terms of switching over, check with your current broker. X-O will charge nothing to accept shares transferred from another broker, but your broker will almost certainly charge to transfer them. X-O charge £15 per stock to do this, but other brokers will probably charge more.
I find that all the information I need, whether that be information about the companies, discussion and forecasts, historical data or live prices - it's all available for free elsewhere.
EDIT: It seems TD Waterhouse charge £25 per holding to transfer out: http://www.tdwaterhouse.co.uk/typesofaccount/ratecard-full-rates-charges.cfm

That would be useful. I'd have gotten more Rockhopper at Rockbottom prices if money was available more quickly!
yeah see td waterhouse give me a big account too. dangerous but its there if i need it.
think i might stick to TD. for the sake of £4 per trade difference i want the extra options.
Yeah you can take big punts, Ie buy £10,000 of shares in the morning and then sell them later that day without even needing to find the cash to buy those shares.
Obviously that's a bit risky though!
Today was nice though, whole portfolio is green (or White for RKH)

Shares looked quite cheap start of may?

Read the last 10 posts....

Has anyone checked RKH this morning? 
Man of Honour
RKH confirmed huge oil discovery, share price up 40% but do not sell - this is only the start.
And do not ask how much my stupid failed attempt to sell + rebuy at lower price from the other day has cost me!!!! (But better to make cash than lose it eh)

Hmm, wonder if its worth a punt with some extra cash at this stage since its early in the day, any further news to come later today?

The week isn't over yet 
Going to keep a very close eye on these today, like Simon i didn't put too much in (£800) since between other buys this week thats all i had floating around, wish i used the 5k in my trade account to buy at 182
