I didn't see Interactive Brokers anywhere on that list. I'm a little curious as to why they didn't make the cut when as far as I can tell they're well established.

I am currently with them, and they are $0.005 per share (ie. 50 cents per 100 shares), minimum $1 per trade. Although they do have inactivity fees and their phone support is awful (from what I hear), so far I have had zero problems with them.
