They said G/J spread is 7 pips on their website. Yesterday I found it's actually 10 pips. But just now I found they increased it to 12 pips! They keep changing it all the time! Anyone noticed that?

And that's indeed a good sign! Alpari isn't one of the scammers who have fixed spreads all the time. During high volatility and low liquidity the spreads are wider than normal.

...a serious outfit with multi bank price feeds...
This thread is a bit old, but for clarification purposes, the above does not describe Alpari. They are a market maker, aka bucketshop; they do not have "multi bank price feeds..."

FYI...

I can not say anything good about this broker. I found different non NFA broker (forex uk). I was impressed when they gave me refund in 2 days for a mistake they made. No need to fight for anything. Good luck.
