There is Siteuptime.com, but they will want money if you would like your site/connection monitored at such a tight interval.

You could probably hit a high bandwidth site/service like Google and they wouldn't even notice. But I wonder what you're up to, because it seems excessive for not having something specific that you need to ping.
