The routers/WiFi access points do this independent of the ISP.  There is a setting in the device to add NTP servers.  By default, some point to a server/pool from the manufacturer, some to popular pools, some to hard coded servers (like the Netgear incident).  It’s up to the owner to change or configure, if they don’t like the defaults.
