    Works fine for me - opening an account was easy, getting money into it was likewise. Dealing is pretty good, site can be a bit slow first thing in the mornings but otherwise no problem.

    Another good experience here. No complaints at all. Everything runs fine and it's cheap!

    Got an account also with no complaints. However, if you're looking at trading amounts like £250, I thought I had seen some accounts with percentage charges. X-O's £6 fixed fee is quite high as a percentage of a smaller trade. However a quick look on google didn't tip anything up.

    Typical! Just wrote how good they are, now I can't log in to trade. Anyone else having trouble?

    http://www.x-o.co.uk works but when you click "Log in to Deal" nothing comes up.

    Even with % charges there's usually a minimum charge , and over £5.95 in my experience. I'm considering a switch to x-0 too. My trades are a bit biggerr but with frequent trading the costs do matter.
