IQ data feed

I noticed yesterday what apeared to be IQ feed on Quote Tracker lagging Assent Anvil prints. Logging off Quote Tracker got the newest prints, but the problem repeated itself several times.
 
Quote from risktaker:

Indexes and futures are always timely and accurate. It's stocks during high volume/high tick periods (especially right after major reports) that are a BIG problem.

I had a big problem with SPX index today using IQfeed with Quotetracker. After the fed announcement the index stopped updating. I had to keep backfilling it all the way to the close! I don't think it was Quotetracker either, because ES and everything else kept updating. Very disappointing!
 
Although I am still a subscriber to IQFeed stock Quotes, I rarely use it anymore. I find that using my Etrade MarketCaster Quote window is very accurate up to the second.

But, 2 days ago, I did run a comparision test between my Iqfeed/Quotetracker and Etrade MarketCaster and I notice that this time around, IQFeed was significantly behind.

I was really surprised! Because, IQfeed was my main stay for quite a while where up-to-the-second accurate quotes were a given.

Something is obviously wrong.

You guys who still use Dtn regularly better let them know there is a serious problem before it goes on too long.
