Globex Problems (again?)

Did anyone experience placing market orders for the E-mini this morning
at around 9:35am?   I'm using LFG (FuturesOnline), placed a market
order to buy E-mini, waited for the fill (usually take 10-20 secs), 
waited and waited, and 4 minutes later called the order desk and was 
told that my order was rejected.  The Special Notices box did not indicate
a problem with the system, but LFG is blaming the problem on Globex.

So, to sum up this problem:

1 - lost 4 potential points per contract

2 - Saw a STRONG (the rarely seen Gravestone Doji) reversal bar at 9:45,
     which I would have reversed my position to go short.  Another lost
     potential opportunity, possibly 5-10 points per contract.

3 - LFG is blaming Globex (again!)

4 - I'm not making $$ because of these problems.  Just when the market
     is giving me GREAT trading signals, this problem occurs.

5 - I'm pissed off as hell and seriously looking for another brokerage 
     firm that can provide efficient and reliable Order Entry system.  I'm
     looking for quick fills and low commissions.
