I've already tried, but still ping times to South Europe are very high as you can see --- ntp1.inrim.it ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 3999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 70.954/72.383/74.783/1.393 ms --- ntp2.inrim.it ping statistics --- 5 packets

Hi, Ping times seem OK to me, they are under 90ms, and jitter is less than 1ms. The 4000ms is total time taken, for 5 packets, and is constrained by (1 sec per ping) * (n-1) attempts. My values are: --- ntp1.inrim.it ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time

Hi, First: Thank you for your efforts adding servers in countries with few servers, it's really great. In addition to what Oliver (and others) said I'd add that if it's hard for you to find a stratum 1 server in Egypt, it'll be really really hard for a casual user. There's not even an 'eg'
