This is probably a FAQ question, but...

When I first put up NTP (a long time ago), I noted that Bell of PA time was
two seconds faster than my computers time.  Today its off by the same two
seconds.  One of them is obviously very reliably wrong (I lean towards
Bell).  It does seem rather curious, especially since its fast rather than
slow, which might be explained by other types of delays.

I know the phone company would probably tell me that in a disagreement between
reality and Bell, they are definitive, but if anyone has an explanation of
this phenomena, I'd like to hear it.
