I don't know what you mean by outages. With IB it was impossible to login into their web client and all outstanding market orders were not sent to exchange and were eventually cancelled by IB. TOS had no such problem.

I can't tell anything about ToS unresponsiveness on May 6 but IB web based client went down during this day sell-off until the market close. I am surprised nobody talks about that.
