Let me repeat that there is a service which is officially intended to be pinged/queried/etc, the RIPE Anchors.
Yeah, but how do we get out there in a manner that Jane can easily find and use, like she does 8.8.8.8?
I don't think that John (who is probably no more clueful than Jane) knows about Google Public DNS either. The only problem is the less friendly IP address (although this will be less and less a problem with IPv6, since 2001:4860:4860::8888 is not really friendly). This can be partially mitigated with nice domain names, that an access or service provider can set up.
