Monk's Den

Question:

I've heard around the Den that etrade guarantees 2 second transaction times. I was talking with a friend and they split his market order into two parts and the second part did not fill for about 8 seconds and 5 cents higher. When we talked with etrade, they said that they only guarantee 2 seconds on orders up to 500 shares. This was very disappointing. So, my question is for you live traders. You happy with the overall trade execution times with etrade in general or is this common? TIA
