I agree it's a bad idea, but the reason Netgear caused such a mess was that
there was a bug in their software that caused their routers to go nuts with
requests.

Try your ISP's nameservers first. They are often timeservers. I'm going
to try to come up with a way to automate this for Chrony.

I'm sure that almost all ISPs have at least one, but I don't trust them to
make it accessible to their customers (and I think you can guess what
answer you will get if you ask "support" about timeservers).
