<p>a commodity router would not be used for timekeeping in your or my net. The average person's net, sure. And it would most likely be +/- 3 minutes or less, in practice, on average. Better than 100% of average user nets I see today. Seriously.</p>

I actually wish commodity routers would automatically provide NTP for<br>
home networks. Why? Because it doesn't truly matter what time the<br>
systems on the network have, it is more important that they are<br>
consistent with each other.<br>
<div><br clear="all"></div></blockquote><div>I want them to have a full NTP tier 3 service so they stay synced upstream and provide downstream data as well. I don't care about my home LAN being synced together if they are all world off by 20 minutes!<br>
