From that page, it looks like odd lots are still transacted damn near the same rate. '1 to 2 basis points' off would be .01-.02% extra

Only true if there is sufficient liquidity. Outside of main market hours I've seen pretty thin liquidity in odd lots and thus wide spread (GBP/AUD).

I agree IB is still a pretty good way to go overall though
