How accurate is Equinix Precision Time?
Accuracy SLA – 50 microseconds or less, depending on the network architecture and other factors in the deployment. Typically, the accuracy is up to 5-10 microseconds . If you consume service locally within the same metro, the accuracy might be up to 1-2 microseconds.
Availability SLA – 99.999%

Accuracy is measured as the maximum divergence between the time delivered by the service and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
The typical accuracy for synchronization levels achieved by real users are:
- NTP – 1-10 milliseconds, depending on the network implementation.
- PTP – 50 microseconds or less, depending on the network architecture and other factors in the customer deployment.
