When we did get a hold of someone, they mentioned they could support simple ICMP requests.
To them "simple" means it's just a ping check. They won't montior/graph/care about latency.
I was pondering creating a "smoke ping collective". Get a bunch of guys to agree to run smokeping and monitor each other. That's a great tool for visualizing changes in latency and works just as well with ICMP as with HTTP.
There is this really awesome project from RIPE (like usual ;) Please check, and start using RIPE TTM: http://www.ripe.net/ttm/ See the site for presentations, tools, info, etc etc etc etc... Enjoy ;) Greets, Jeroen
