I think for "non-mission-critical" requests like this, we will see a

cable operators, and suffer from decades of institutional overhead.

It would be a major step in the right direction if ISPs even ran NTP
servers for their own customers and publicized that they did it.

Does anybody have a list of which ISPs do that?  Sounds like a good
page for the Wiki.

Mine does.  But

- they are based in the UK, and were syncing to US servers rather than UK ones

- they were syncing over an asymmetrical (satellite?) link at one time, and therefore had a fixed 20ms (or whatever) offset!

- an "ntpq  -p  ntp.blueyonder.co.uk" currently gives "request timed out".

Perhaps it's now "mine did"?
