That's because you don't know what "normal" should look like:

     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

See all of your columns with zeros?  See mine don't have zeros, but actual data?  It seems your ntpd is failing to contact the remote ntp servers.  While watching iftop, stop and start ntpd.  You should see connections going out to the remote ntp servers.  We need to confirm that.

Also, please paste your /etc/ntp.conf file.
