If they had any clue about administering a web server* they would have them all synchronised using ntp. The error should be too small for you to detect remotely.

If the time reported by two sites is consistently a few seconds or more out you can safely assume they are separate servers. (Unless it's due to some funky proxying)

If the time reported by two sites is generally the same to within a second, it may or may not be the same server. It could be two servers both synchronised to the same ntp network or time scale.

*I know this is a big assumption.

BT Forums appear to be back up & I didn't have to wade through treacle to get there?

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
 

BT are locking threads again on the forums, may be time to have a trawl through and see if they have been sanitising things and removing posts that are to near to the truth

copyright thread has been locked

That's hilarious!

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
 

They haven't locked other threads but perhaps in time...

It beggars belief that they are so paranoid that they can't allow us to discuss copyright law.

pity our gummy / toothless authorities / (supposed) regulators over here don't take a leaf out their stateside associates and start asking pointed questions of our ISP's and INSIST on INDEPENDANT PROOF not just nice polite boilerplate letters prepared for the ISP's by PHORM that skip over important facts and mis-represent what they are actually doing or plan to do with our private communications

I suggest that when this is over, and Phorm is a stinking pile of burning heap in the ground, we all show up at the ICO's office to demand his resignation.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who's disgusted by the trend these days in the UK to follow the US lead on all matters to do with justice and freedom. They're hardly a shining example, but civil rights in the US are beginning to make the UK look like the People's Republic of China.
The overall impression left by the UK government's action (or rather, inaction) on protecting our privacy and civil rights is that they are a bunch of cringing, cowardly, money-grabbing criminals who wait to see what the big boy on the block does before judging what they can get away with imposing on us. The sooner they're booted out, the better for all of us (and that's from someone who misguidedly voted for them in 1997).
Apologies to the mods for this off-topic rant.

I don't subscribe to that one so cannot see anything.
