Yes, I believe so.

Have a look at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2b.html and select 
three servers that are near you that have open access. Add entries for each of 
those servers to both your /etc/ntp.conf file and the /etc/ntp/step-tickers 
file. Then try stopping and restarting the ntp service.
