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.
If you mean associate time with the pings - you could write it as a batch file where you called the time (with a /T so it doesn't ask for input) and does a ping (don't add the -t there so it runs just the standard 4) and then loops.  Or you could consider running a tracert (in a loop) which would give a longer but more meaningful output as to whether the failure might be happening (Maybe you're getting out past your router but not getitng DNS, that type of thing).
In need of a way to ping a specific IP address and record the time of each ping aswell as the result
