Basically I need a way to check my internet connectivity in a sense. I've been having trouble with my net dropping out randomly and know it's not my end. But the ISP wants a little more proof. Basically I need something that can check latency and if its connecting at all on roughly an hourly basis and recording this information to a text file that I can view (and read back to them when I call them up next.) I was originally thinking of using python but my python is dodgy at best. But if another way is easier (either using a different scripting language or some program) I'm happy to use that as well.
EDIT: I'm not sure if that was clear so I'll summarize. It needs to ping, then record the response and the time it was pinged in a text document in a readable way. It must ping roughly every hour.
You could just redirect constant ping results to a txt file. from command prompt (as admin)  ping (address) -t >log.txt
In need of a way to ping a specific IP address and record the time of each ping aswell as the result
