Same experience I have had. Actually esignal being a little faster on es nq etc. It pisses me off because I really want to switch from esignal. Anyway yesterday 11/26 was one of the worst days I have had with esignal(6 year user). Alot of the stocks I had on my order entry were 3 to 4 secs ahead of e signal. Simply unacceptable. Unfortunately I don't have a better solution except for cqg which is about double the price.
HELP!! Is there a alternitive to No-Signal? (e-signal)

I posted to YOU about this over a 2 years ago... You ignored it... A year ago... And 6 months ago
Others have posted to you about it... you have ignored them too...
<font color="#FF0000">You need multi threaded advanced charting software and data feed system<br>Not A SINGLE THREADED charting and data feed system... </font>
You could throw a billion dollars at your hardware... big deal... it will not help... until and unless you have a **mutil threaded** charting and data manager feed software you are pushing on a string...
It does not matter that Reg NMS has increased volume over the last year... What is your excuse 2 - 3 years ago?
You choose, instead of doing the right thing, to try to buy out everybody you could as a biz model instead of improving what you should have...
Now you are going to lose and are losing market share... and hopefully you will go the way of Chuck Prince... and rightfully so...
I quit eSig because of this problem 2 years ago... You have cost traders money in a your real time yet delayed feed on market volume bursts...
You people were 100% unprepared for NYSE becoming automated. Everyone knew that unless esignal did something it would run into major problems.
You guys were having problems before NYSE became automated and once it did it became a wreck.
I know you are just doing your job, but the truth is esignal simply only works when the market is flat.
When theres any kind of serious selling or buying programs kicking in your ESIGNAL goes down the toilet. Data becomes heavily congested and any info I try to get any info out of esignal ,at times, up to and over a minute.
My system specs.
CPU .q6600 water cooled running at 3600 mhz.

Internet connection. High speed cable.
My order entry never has a hiccup during heavy traffic.

jd and others with eSignal - I was with eSignal well over one year ago and faced the same problems you currently are. These problems are recurring and eSignal staff always have a 'upgrades coming, just wait' line. Well, I was fed the same junk you are being fed here and I finally said enough and dumped them.
I suggest you do the same. You can always come back to them if they do get their acts together. In the meantime, you need a platform that actually works. I can't tell you how much less stressful my day is knowing my platforms are stable and reliable.
I use Open ECry's charting as my main charting and MultiCharts with Open ECry data as backup.
Wouldn't you know that OEC's FREE charting and data is so much more stable and reliable than what you PAY eSignal for it's not even close.
