as of 9:57am im up and running, sometimes it shuts down for a 2-3 mins, it did that yesterday after the FED announcement.
 
Talked to MBTrading. They are fine on their side.
Then, I troubleshoot the problem, it looks like it is the ISP issue (SBC Yahoo DSL problem).

Any time the market starts to move these guys shut everything down, this outfit is NOT for intraday traders. If your a long term investor its just fine.

Their futures hours are restricted, and if you day trade you must exit at the end of the day. They shut down futures from 5pm est till 3am est. So if some news comes out thats great afterhours you cant trade.

Agreed, no problems today but yesterday after the Fed announcement it was business as usual at MBT: lagging/hanging quotes and quote server disconnects.

So disappointing, MBT - when are you going to get your IT infrastruture fixed so you can handle peak periods without failing? I had IB running side by side and it didnt have any problems.

BTW, the quote server I was connected to was PRC13.
