You can talk all day long about things that other people should do or
teach users how to find out what those same people actually do instead.
Start with

http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html

then drill down to your continental zone, then the country zone.  That
will give you something to contemplate if maybe they should chose
another nearby zone (in addition to) their own country zone depending on
the number of servers listed as currently active.

Depending on what you intend to use your stratum 1 clock for, the NTP
server of your internet provider (handed out via DHCP most likely) is
usually a good enough fallback all by itself.  If you're lucky enough to
have multiple connectivity then add maybe one additional server per
permanent connection.

Achim.
