Hopefully someone at Plusnet knows what I'm on about... (@Bob Pullen ?)
I noticed a few minutes ago that my computer's clock was 3½ hours slow, so I checked my settings. I use ntp.plus.net to keep the somewhat erratic internal clock up to speed, but my setting showed that the server was responding with Busy.
I can change to one of the pool servers for now, but ideally I'd like to use the PN server, as it's obviously the closest one.

If it is on the BT network, it's still going to be closer to me than any other NTP server.

Sometimes it is but not always, some of the UK pool ntp servers have a shorter route. All you really need is something reasonably local and reliable with backup options. ±10ms won't really be noticeable.

Closeness to the NTP server is NOT a big issue, as NTP will not only ask for the time, but will apply a correction based on the link latency.
