Internet is up verification

[Daniel Parraz]

There is Siteuptime.com, but they will want money if you would like your site/connection monitored at such a tight interval. Another option would be to use Webmin on the outside, and configure it to watch this site/connection and report a failure.

Hope that helps,

Daniel Parraz

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.

Trying to gather availability evidence against Cox or Qwest? ;)
