I posted similar question about a week back and the only reply,
besides Tradestation, was from Michael highly recommending
IQFeed.
I have the same issue - limited historical data and constant
pacing violations. If you find something better, please, let me
know. Otherwise, I am seriously considering IQFeed - maybe, I will
do a trial with them. I noticed that their historical data for
stocks goes back only to May 2007.
Meanwhile, I don't trust IB data even inside the provided range
- not until I figure the answer to my older post regarding odd
"spikes". Run daily bars for GLD for one year from IB and see
whether it looks normal.
thanks for the info so what

I use Tradestation. Only reason I still have an account with them is to pull up historical data and their flat-fee commissions.
IB but looking for something better
