I wonder if NTPAdministrator or NTP.Administrator is an e-mail alias. I made an
attempt, probably futile, to get webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx to relay a message to
their NOC. I may try one of the less relevant "contact us" choices on their web
site. I suppose I could also try abuse@<their ISP>; surely running a public
stratum 1 out of sync qualifies as abuse. I wonder if weather.com has a real
technical POC contact listed.

Thanks. Alas this hints that no one at TWC is taking an active interest in
their NTP service. And I thought everyone checked their NTP servers twice a
day. What is the world coming to?
