Note that these are only target frequencies and are not guaranteed. They are dependent on various factors:
•The number of markets in the market list.
•The number of markets with a betting plan.
•The number of markets that are in-play simultaneously.
•The network speed of the user.
•The Betfair host server for the market (obtaining data from the Australian server is slower than that from the GB server when the user is in the UK for example).
Note also that if the Manual Trading Interface is enabled then the above update rates still apply to bet plans, but the screen will always be updated at approximately once per second.
