Depending on the amount of data you are receiving (number of ticker symbols entered) most TWS sessions will function properly on a reliable 56k connection. However, the use of other network applications while you are using TWS may slow down your connection. The typical TWS client will utilize 6.5k/second to retrieve market data for 100 symbols of data.
