Please please please use tier 3 NTP sources.  That's probably a tier 1 but 
could be tier 2.  When end users use tier 1 or 2 it causes many problems 
often culminating with withdrawal of service of the organisation providing 
the free time servers.

Your ISP should have an NTP server and that's the one to use.  NTP is 
smart enough to adjust for delays introduced in transmission between time 
servers so there is no advantage in using a tier 1.
