Understand your comment. I couch my question across both data feed providers as I try to narrow down the cause of these intermittent 'few seconds only' disconnections. I do so as I am aware that ZF is really just a 'white lable' of Rithmic.
I know my internet connection did not go down.
I now know (from several of you who replied) that others do not seem to have had the issue at the same time.
I have been provided Rithmic IP addressess in relation to ZF from NT support folks, so now it is off to my ISP to see if they can test connection from their perspective to see if I can nail the cause.
Must be your ISP. I use rithmic and have seen no connection problems today.

Rithmic and IQfeed delay time, jobs report time today, June 1, 2012
IQFeed delay=0 , where Rithmic delay=44 seconds. It will be equal very soon, around 8.35, not late.
I wil try here to do an analysis and comparation on different data feeds and platforms to perfom studies involving bid/ask data, like comulative bid/ask difference or delta bars and footprint like.

You are really posting in the wrong thread. This thread is for outages. The more appropriate thread for comparisons is the one I linked above. It has a lot of detailed information.
Multiple software instance connected to different data feeds. Left numbers is time lag between CPU clock and data feed. Right number is last tick time itself. Rubber scale, same as Interactivebrokers ten years ago.
Link to long discussion-access restricted.
It is not comparison! Time delay is dangerous outage on the fast market. 44 seconds is enough time for lost a lot.
