NorthFinance (or any other MetaTarder broker) is using the DDOS attack excuse as reason for no datafeed especially around news hours time? You gotta be kidding. They're trying to give a good technical reason for the downtime, yeah sound technical so the non-suspecting client will trust them.

Go with ECN brokers. Avoid www.coesfx.com. HotspotFx president just resigned.
Best ECN for FX is www.mbtrading.com/fx

If u still want a retail broker, avoid MT4 brokers. Use FXSOL or GFT in USA. The rest are junk.

Of course there are the dealdirect with real interbanks through Currenex.com, FXall, etc. I'm just not upto par with their level yet.
