nws-ldm[12].hpcc.ercbroadband.org are both ALLOWed to REQUEST NEXRAD2
from idd.unidata.ucar.edu AND are both already making REQUESTs for this and
other feeds.  This should indicate that the latecnies you are experiencing
are either caused by the connection(s) to the NWS top level sites,
or by network issues close to your location.

Latencies we are seeing for the times of your high latencies
strongly suggest that the problem is at or close to the NWS top level
source machines.

I hope that this helps...

Cheers,
