I take it that you stick with the default ntp configuration, with syncing from a pool. I do not; I have found a few public stratum 1 servers relatively close to me, and I use them in general, via their IP addresses and not via their DNS names. On my desktop and on my Pi, which do not need mobility, I don't even do that: I sync to my router. It makes a fine stratum 2 NTP server :-) -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
