UK Time Servers

CoXeY · 12 Apr 2006 at 16:02

Can anyone recommend some highly reliable time servers preferrably located in the UK?

I'm currently sync'ing with 0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, 2.pool.ntp.org and although the time accuracy is acceptable the time service fails to synchronise on numerous occasions throughout the month and makes my nice 'n' tidy event logs all messy :rolleyes:

It would be nice to rid the errors / warnings once and for all!

Cheers
Dan.

I'm using ntp0.zen.co.uk now, but I used to use a.ntp.alphazed.net which (I believe) is somewhere in Telehouse, London.

There's ntp0.cis.strath.ac.uk as well.

JANET's Stratum-1 NTP servers are extremely reliable.

EDIT: Alternatively you can use a GPS NTP device if you are really worried about it!

I wasn't aware JANET's NTP servers were open to the public - are they?

Well I (or rather the company I work for) have been using them for years.

hmm... think i might start using my unis time servers then (manchester) even if i know i'm asking for trouble, there's no way they're even close to reliable if my uni has anything do with it
