IB disconnected many times

My futures account has been stable all morning, but I was only able to access my stock account for a few minutes today. It's on login attempt #101 now...

 

I lost connection once for a minute or so, now I have lost it again and been down for over ten minutes. Not cool. I am in Idaho, and eSignal is working fine, so I think this must be an IB problem. When it is an internet problem, I have trouble with my other connection/programs too.

 

If it's an ISP problem why is IB "working on it"?

IB is attributing this to one of their "internet hosts". They claim the problem will be "resolved shortly". I've been down for 90 minutes now.

Just logged back on, positions I closed by phone are still showing up in acct.

 

Back up on IB , With bigger losses.

I got logged off before I could enter a drop-dead stop on 1 of my positions and lost 2400. Damnit to hell; this will take me a week to recover less than 20 minutes worth of losses. Furthermore I closed it out on the phone and it still shows up in the pending tab. WTF ??

 

Does anyone know how long it takes for these phone orders to show up in account?
