Owen,
I have not heard anything nasty about IB, but you might consider
keeping an account with another broker as backup, preferably a broker
who can support telephone order quickly in case the problem is in
your computer. In a situation when IB has problems, you can always
bail out with your backup. It's probably a good general policy
anyway....
