Journal Ash Vince's Journal: Google Blocks Pings 2

Journal by Ash Vince on Tuesday November 29, 2011 @08:58AM

Google are now not responding to pings from the outside world so all of us who ping their servers to check if the internet is up now have to find any something else to ping instead.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent site you can ping to see if your local internet connection has crashed?
