An important disctinction to make is network proximity vs. geographic
proximity. If your provider doesn't have a time server on their
network, odds are likely your packets will go to either Dallas or
Chicago to peer and then come back to Omaha.
That said:
time.inetnebr.com is in Lincoln and was stratum-2 when I worked there.
I believe it still is.
time.verio.net works splendidly for me from most anywhere, but I usually
directly connect to Verio's network.
