I was not aware of time.is but it is an Icelandic website. It is maintained by a guy in Norway and the accuracy and reliability is not known. I would use time.gov which is the NIST website. It is corrected for network delay. A few years back I compared it with WWVB on 60 kc and it was well within a tenth of a second. There have been posts here of different computers giving errors of a few seconds on it with different internet providers. I have seen discrepancies between my cell phone and the wireless at MacDonalds for example. The trouble seems to been caches of the website. Hit F5 for refresh and you should get a fresh page. Just now my phone on Metro PCS and laptop on wireless both agree with time.gov considering slight known errors. Time.is shows my laptop to be slow by 0.87 seconds which is correct. Do not trust the network time on your cell phone. I have seen them a minute off. Usually cell phone time is within a couple of seconds with my carrier. My phone is set to time.gov and not network time.
