IB data isnt the actual exchange data. For example, on nasdaq, the raw data is the ITCH tick-by-tick data.

iirc iqfeed gives you a normalized data format.

Yeah, the quality isn't the same as a proper feed but i guess the cost doesnt compare either. CQG seem to do pretty good feeds but i've never tried them
