The first place to look for time servers is your ISP.  ISPs often run

I tried my ISP first.  When I sent tech support an email asking
about the NTP servers, they sent me instructions on how to setup
news access.  I had to explicitly spell network time protocol.
Yup, they are very clueful.


Try this:
traceroute ntp.<yourisp>

I was pleasantly surprised to find that my ISP has one at ntp.cox.net.


A simple ping of ntp.<ISP> showed the machine as being there, and it
just a CNAME for the nameserver.  I guess first line tech support
really is clueless :-)
