Can someone tell Demon about that, I regularly see round trip delays to
their NTP boxes of 1S or more! Yes, ONE SECOND! From a user on their
network by ADSL. It's very much time-of day dependant, reasonable at
night, terrible duing the workday (weekends are not bad)
Conjestion, traffic shaping? Who knows, Demon don't if you call them.
"NTP? Is that like FTP?" a responce from one of their "Techincal"
types when I asked a while back... You could smell the curry cooking
in the background.
