"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"I was with ******* for 4 years at $230 a month, this is a huge savings for me, GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE," - Comment from T.S. via Email

"You are either overstaffed or people just don't have problems with your feed because customer support always answers the phone quickly." - Comment from Jay via Email

"I've never had DTN go out on me since switching. ******* would go down a couple times every month when I was using them." - Comment from Bryce in AL.

"If you want customer service that answers the phone, your best bet is IQFeed. I cannot stop praising them or their technical support. They are always there for you, and they are quick. I have used ****** too but the best value is IQFeed." - Comment from Public Forum

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

Is this a known issue? When I receive live quote updates (Q message) I also don't receive a tick id (it's blank, not 0), but bid/ask sizes are sent. Is this a known issue? I've searched for topics related to 'tick' but found nothing relevant. Thanks

DTN_Steve_S -DTN Guru- Posts: 2093 Joined: Nov 21, 2005	Posted: Apr 18, 2006 08:16 AM Msg. 4 of 6 TickID in quote data should start being sent with our next major server release (not the next IQFeed release). With the historical data fields, we are not as certain to when they will be start being populated.

DTN_Jay_Froscheiser -VP, Product Operations- Posts: 1746 Joined: May 3, 2004 DTN IQFeed/DTN.IQ/DTN NxCore	Posted: Apr 24, 2006 11:16 PM Msg. 6 of 6 I wouldn't expect the major server release to be available in the next month. Due to the server changes and compatibility with the IQFeed client, we first need to ensure all IQFeed/DTN.IQ users are on the 4.1 version of IQFeed. This, coupled with continued QA testing on the new server code should take at least another month. We are trying out best to get it out, but don't want to rush it and cause problems.
