Can someone help me figure out a really good NTP server near Houston?
I assume you mean Houston, Texas, USA?
The answer is going to depend on details of your ISP, as a server
geographically close to Houston may well be a long way away in network
terms.
Your ISP and the exact product you use, and possibly your exact
location, will determine what are realistic expectations from a server.
There is no point in overloading a really good server, if the time is
really bad by the time it reaches you.
Knowing your definition of "really good" and the application, would also
help, as it is selfish to choose a server that is better than you really
need.
Also, you should be looking for at least four, independent good servers.
If you are running an application that can only support one server, it
is rather unlikely that you can justify using a "really good server".
Finally, if time really is critical to you, and you have reasonably
clear view of the sky, you should be using GPS as your primary source.
