Well, they (NMi) are the Dutch national organisation for standards. This time ought to be no more than micro (nano?) seconds from UTC. What the guy from NMi tells me is that they synced the time a couple of days ago and then hooked it up to their 4 cesium clocks. So in theory there shouldn't be any difference with UTC. I'm bothering you people for this as I would like to get them to fix it. But for that I need to be able to give a explanation.
