People are posting about this on IBKR's twitter feed. See comments below IB's last tweet.

I can't either. I got disconnected about 45 minutes ago and TWS is stuck in connection error mode. Also the webtrader login page at https://ny.wgw.interactivebrokers.com/webtrader/servlet/login doesn't even load. It's annoying that IB won't even bother to update its system status page...

Someone should call IB and warn them they're having problems with their globex feed... http://status.interactivebrokers.net/cgi-bin/bb_status.pl

What I meant to say was that it's an IB problem but it's specific to their Globex feed. Saxo Bank's platform and the CME website are both showing live Globex quotes as usual.

The problem appears to be specific to contracts traded on Globex (ES, NQ, NIY and FX futures). Those traded on ECBOT or NYMEX are fine...

Thanks for the update. As mentioned I've solved my problem through a VPN but I'll take a look at BeThere. If they offer a reliable service and are likely to be around for the foreseeable future I will certainly consider switching to them.

iTWS is by far the best mobile trading app I've come across.

No problem. If you don't want to go to the trouble of switching operators, the VPN service I mentioned is only $7/month. Also, with most of their servers being located in the US, it allows you to watch all TV shows in HD etc on US networks' websites (unavailable if you're abroad) and...

Problem solved. I set up a personal VPN with the NY server of http://strongvpn.com/ and the fatal freezing issue no longer occurs. This confirms my suspicion that the problem is being caused by BT, which back in September and without giving notice to anyone must have started to restrict...

Well I was just on to phone for 30 minutes with a very helpful BT Broadband tech support guy. He completely understood what my problem is and he too was puzzled as to why this happens just to streaming market data at that time of day and since Sep. 6th. There's no mention of this issue in their...

That occurred to me as well, but I'm certain that BT has been limiting peer-to-peer traffic (such as torrents etc) between 4pm and midnight for years. It was doing it before September and it is doing it now. So if anything BT may be curbing the traffic that uses the specific protocol used...

Hi, I don't have a USB dongle with a UK mobile operator as I don't really need it, but I may get one on a one-month-only starter deal from Vodafone just to test whether this problem still occurs when on a different network after 7:05pm. I have Windows 7 on one PC and XP on the other, 8Mbs...

I thought of that but what I don't understand is why this only happens to market data streams, and not to bandwidth hogging services like streaming video for example. For instance two video streams (Bberg TV and CNBC) running concurrently at 200 kbs each are not affected at any time. If...

See my post above. You can choose to connect to any one of IB's servers, US, European or Asian. They all provide the same data. In theory you'd want to connect to the one nearest to your physical location. If you're based in Italy you probably want to connect to the European server in...

When did you start having this problem? I have been at the same London physical address with the same BT Total Broadband 8Mbs DSL service for three years and freezing quotes were never an issue for me until this September 6th or 7th. Quotes regularly start freezing between 7:04pm and 7:06pm, and...

I am trying to figure out what is causing this and I was wondering if anyone has been experiencing the same problem. I am based in central London and have been with IB for years. I love IB and never had any problems with IB's data feed until recently. However, since 6 September 2010 my...

What a crock of $hit.

iTWS just keeps getting better. Version 2.0 now available from the app store. It includes charts, alerts, market scanners and FX support. It also remembers your login password, if you so choose!

TWS and iTWS down in London for the last 20 mins. Mobile Trader and Webtrader working fine.
