The better way to get Home equity line of credit (HELOC)?

I'm looking to get a home equity line of credit for a while. Because mortgage broker didn't make any money (not even a dime) to get you the HELOC, most broker is not very motivated to do this as a service. I call the broker I used in the past, but it seems that they don't care much about my HELOC as compared to refinance or purchase I did. After weeks of waiting, I got pretty frustrated for no responds from my broker, and I decide to go directly to the bank. I went to Wells Fargo and sit down with a investment advisor. After I explain what I needed, the person seems to be helpful. Except she won't tell me the rate until I "initiate" the process with the bank. She recommends me open a bank account with Wells Fargo and I did. Today, she finally call me and let me know the rate. It was a pretty ridiculous high rate "PRIME + 2" This is almost as high as a personal loan I can get from a credit union! Well, it seems like the lady is more interested to get me open an account than getting me the competitive rate of equity line I wanted. After some research, I learnt that http://www.bankrate.com/ actually offer a list of bank with interest rate sorted in order. I 'll give this list a try tomorrow and call the lowest rate company to get started. Hope I can find the right lender to get me the HELOC. Share your experience if you have a better way to get HELOC?
