[ntp:questions] Speedstream 5100b time synchronization?

I've got a Speedstream 5100b DSL modem provided by my ISP
(a major telco).  Looking at its internal settings (which I
have no way to modify), I see it synchronizes its own internal
notion of time with two restricted-access stratum-1 NTP servers.
Isn't this a first-class bad idea, considering the load this
would impose as the telco tries to sign up millions of customers?
