Verizon hasn't volunteered that they have one or more such servers. For me, that would be very nice.
According to http://www.dslreports.com/faq/5825 Verizon has monitored support newsgroups. There's also some Verizon forums at http://www.dslreports.com/forums/47.
Try running ntptrace to your Verizon-supplied DNS servers and to your gateway. One of them may have decent time.
Another discovery trick is to use traceroute and use ntptrace to inspect your nearby routers. Most big name routers supply ntp if so configured.
Example traceroute redhat.com, or smtp.yourisp.com then I run a quick test of 1,2,3,4
for i in ..... list from traceroute .... do echo ====================== ntptrace $i done
Always ASK your ISP for the service. If they never hear the demand they cannot provide the service.
