Paul,

Very infrequently, things may slow down, but it has always been so slight that after one or two mins, normal service resumes. I've never had a serious problem that was obviously MB's fault. Its much more likely for the internet backbone to go down in my experience.

For instance, Tuesday morning I had a power cut for about two hours. I phoned MB and they answered on the first ring and took my limit sell order, no problem (and no charge).

As regards timeliness of the feed - so far for me its as real time as it gets. I can't perceive any delay, i.e. my split second timed orders on fast moving stocks get filled.

I started with MB on May 1st and I've done 42 trades. I stupidly lost a fortune on ENMD but I'm steadily making it back at about $3k-$4k/day. This would not be possible without MB's fast executions. As I said before, I'm only getting 28k from my 56k modem, but it works fine for me. I'm just a beginner.
