don't know what is causing the data spikes ..... but
in my opinion it is a matter of simply adding a few lines in the program
the programmers should add script that doublechecks for extremely out of the range data and sends a request back to the server for a double check on that particular piece of data , if that will take up the bandwidth then at least the program should ditto the previous correct data piece and if possible flash a warning of some sort ...
seems to be a most simple thing for any programer to take care of in less than one day
update patches would be nice instead of waiting for new versions, that way program can be tweaked much faster and be more responsive to the feedback from us guinea pigs
....

as far as data being ahead of datek's data ... different data providers come at different speeds , i know that IT is lagging behind
S&P comstock feed i have on watcher and the trades i see go by on it show up on IT 5 to 10 seconds later .... so it is all relative
