Personally, I've been using the DHCP server for my ISP as my ntp server. If I can't reach that server then I've got way bigger problems :-). Seriously though, it is a good thing to try. If you are using DHCP then you may be able to use it as your time server. It's going to be a server that's pretty close on your network so it should respond quickly, and like I said, if you can't reach that then syncing the time is the least of your worries.
