There are two time zones called Eastern Standard Time. One covers the eastern quarter of the United States, about a quarter of Canada, and part of the Caribbean (UTC-5). The other covers the eastern 1/3 of Australia (UTC+10).

No, not exactly...

The term "Eastern Time" gives no indication of whether or not daylight saving time is in effect. It can be either Eastern Standard Time (UTC - 5 hrs. in North America; UTC + 10 hrs. in Australia) or Eastern Daylight Saving Time (UTC - 4 hrs. / UTC + 11 hrs.). "Eastern Standard Time" refers specifically to the Eastern Time offset when daylight saving time is not in effect.
