Hey, no problem. That's what testing is for! :-) You situation is in the 20% I describe in the last part of my message. Your ISP is pretty well connected (http://xrl.us/AS5462) so from a BGP point of view lots of servers are close to you. For a country like UK, geographical mapping is likely to be the best because of the size of the country. I live in Quebec (eastern Canada), so a server in British-Columbia (western Canada -- some 4000 Km away) is not going to be good for me. Getting a server in New-York (north-eastern US) would be much better, but is in us.pool.ntp.org, not ca.pool.ntp.org. Anyway, like I said in my earlier message, a scoring system using both GeoIP and BGP would probably give better results.
