>>> Very negligible packet loss. <<<


This sounds just awful on my side (users side).

IMHO, for those of users who has never tested data feeds it is really need to provide some additional info:

- all of brokers provide their data feed using UDP

- a chance to lose a data packet is a nature of UDP
http://www.diffen.com/difference/TCP_vs_UDP

- CME uses UDP to feed external services

- 1% or more of packets might be lost using UDP in most of other cases using a broker's feed /my stats/.

- IQFeed uses TCP. It increases a feed latency.

So the SC Real Time Futures Data Feed looks great in this scope.

Sorry for my English. This is the suggestion to provide more info.
