Once upon a time I worked with a telco setting up an ATM network in London. Their time source was in a rack with five slots. Slot 1 was a GPS card. Slot 2 (backup) was a GPS card. Slot 3 (backup's backup etc) was a GPS card. Slot 4 was a GPS card. Slot 5 was an atomic clock.
What they most cared about was keeping the same time as everybody else.
Yes, that is also a key reason for me. The other is to keep all our own (local and remote) machines on the same time, with reasonable accuracy.
