How accurate is NIST time?
“NIST-F2 is accurate to one second in 300 million years,” said Thomas O’Brian, who heads NIST’s time and frequency division, during a press conference Apr. 3. The clock was recently certified by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures as the world’s most accurate time standard.
How do I get time from NIST?
Windows: Double-click the system clock and then click on the Internet Time tab. In the settings, you may be allowed to pick which NTP server the time comes from. NIST operates several stratum-1 network time servers, which means their time is directly linked to UTC(NIST), the official NIST time.
What NTP should I use?
If your client allows it, you should connect to multiple NTP servers. In the case that your client only allows you to specify a single NTP server, use: ntp.netnod.se (or nts.netnod.se if your client supports Network Time Security).

Can you listen to WWV online?
Why can’t I hear WWV/WWVH on the Internet? NIST has considered streaming the audio from WWV/WWVH via the Internet, but because of audio buffering, the time announcement could be several seconds off and would vary for different users.
