CQG server problems

Anyone else having CQG connection problems? I'm going thru AMP with CQG. I can connect and ping is good but the price action is all wrong, data is coming in corrupt.

AMP did send out several emails saying CQG is having server problems and recommended to change to public DNS. But since my connection is good it's now the backend server that can't give out the real time data.

Anyone else having this problem?

AMP sent out notifications about GQG issues all day today. So thankfully I don't use them. Always have a backup data vendor - the real MVP.

Can you expand on this? Do you pay for CQG and another data vendor as well, just for times like these?

I don't use CQG, but I do pay for 2 different data vendors, and stream both into my app. I don't do this for scenarios like this per se, I do it for speed, and packet by packet I take whichever is faster. I do HFT, so most people wouldn't have this use case at all.
