I'm trying to understand why I am getting poor speeds from IQFeed.

I recently switched strategies and I'm trying to get a realtime feed from about 150 tickers, but my IQFeed Connection manager is showing really poor transfer speeds of about 10 KB/Sec.

I have Cable connectivity, and I get about 1Mbit between here and NY (I am in Europe).

Many other apps provide a DL speed over at least 100KB/sec. So I am trying to figure out why I am getting only 10KB/Sec from IQFeed? My charts regularly fall behind by 1 minute which creates alot of lag in terms of trying to trade realtime.

I expect there must be some type of throttling on their connection, to prevent bandwidth hogging. Is it possible I have exceeded some limit?

Appreciate any help in identifying bottlenecks.
