I can't weigh in on the rest of your experience but I think the blame for the time synchronization issue lies squarely at your ISP's feet. Requesting that the time be properly synchronized to digitally sign something doesn't seem to be an absurd requirement to me. Blocking NTP on the other hand is quite insane IMO. If I were in your situation and couldn't change ISP I'd probably buy a cheap GPS USB dongle just to have proper time sync on my network.

Stratux sells a u-blox 8 USB dongle that I've had decent luck with for this timekeeping purpose, although it can be tricky to get a clear signal indoors, and I had to bootstrap the module's first connection outside with usb-otg on a smartphone. But pretty acceptable results for under $20 when feeding it into ntpd. Not exactly plug and play to get it to work, though. But pretty reasonable for most of the diy crowd around here. I need to tape over the green led due to photosensitivity, though. It's shockingly bright.
