If you are into having seriously accurate time you take all those sources,
compare them against each other and then make your own mind up. And where
do you think internet time servers get their reference from? Standard time
and frequency services and/or GPS.

that MSF is probably only of domestic / novelty interest, and few of any
influence will complain if it's not as reliably received as it used to
be.

Apart from the time encoded into the carrier, the carrier is also a
frequency standard.
