While the delay certainly plays its part, I'd still say openntp performs 
abysmally bad compared to ntpd, the jitter is extremely high, and the 
offset is also the highest of all configured servers:

Can somebody closer to that server configure it to eliminate the bad 
network?

I still strongly recommend that people use only proper ntp implementations 
(which implement the full algorithms as per the RFC) as public timeservers.
As far as I know ntpd is the only such implementation.

The network protocol is only the smallest part of NTP.  The big part is in
the logic, and afaict openntp doesn't implement most of this.
