I have had weird latencies on some switches here. And since all your machines are experiencing this, that switch is the only commonality (or the ntp server). Do you have the peerstats on the server as well to make sure that there are not some weird delays there. > >> Also these graphs seem to have cut off the spikes.

You are trying to test out one specific server. The others are simply liable to confuse everything. For example ntp could for some bizarre reason, suddenly decide to use one of those other sites as the preferred server and give a glitch. And what are all those CDMA servers?
