Comcast NTP servers

Comcast doesn't know it, but the last comment in this forum post reveals that time.comcast.com and time.xfinity.com are pools of NTP servers that Comcast operates. (time.xfinity.net doesn't work.)

time.comcast.com

time.xfinity.net

Neither responds to NTP. These aren't even Comcast IPs???

There are also the numbered time1.xfinity.com through time4.xfinity.com pools (well, time2.xfinity.com is a server and not a pool) each clustered in a different geographic nexus.
