IB smart route acted "dumb"; please explain!!

Quote from speculatus:

During the slow market all automatic executions are unavailable. You cannot hit bid/take offer if a quote stamped as slow (E,F, or U in quote condition in the feed). That's the reason why NYSE was rejecting the orders.

Interesting how the "slow market" lasted for a mere 30 seconds.

I believe 30 seconds is the maximum amount of time the market can be stamped "slow".

According to the rules, the max time for LRP is 10 seconds, but I've seen slow markets longer than that.
 
I have the same experience. IB likes to route their NYSE orders to Island for some unexplained reasons. As a result, I did not get the best fills on many NYSE stocks, costing me a lot of money.

I have come to realize that IB is no better than other brokers. Their CNBC advertisment is totally misleading.
