Do we have any news regarding this issue?

What is the best way toe get accurate bid /ask volume data from IB.

I have been using IB True real-time data, but even this feed does not give accurate bid/ask volume. On this feed trades in the 5 seconds period of "real-time data" are considered either "bid volume" or "ask volume". And this is certainly not the case as most 5 seconds periods usually have trades at bid and at ask prices(to check this use a 5 second bar chart with bid/ask volume bars).
