Ask your ISP.
NTP is designed to be a multi-tier protocol. The top-level servers
are already overloaded enough.
For the purposes of keeping your clock within half a second or so
of the "correct" time, being syncing off a low-tier server is no big
deal.
So just sync off your nearest server (probably your ISP or their
next-tier provider).
(Personally, I use ntp.optusnet.com.au, since optus provide my home
connectivity)
