1/22    When I first stared using ING Direct it took 2-3 days to transfer
        money. Then later on3-4 days. Now they're saying "it is
        usually 3-4 days but YMMV." In practice, it is now taking 7
        days to transfer to/from bank accounts. I'm one of the first customers
        on ING Direct and I'm really disappointed at their increasingly
        suckiness. Has anyone experienced the same thing?

           walk on.
