Internet Issues

I HAVE VERIZON ONLINE DSL AND IT SUCKS!

ABOUT EVERY 30 MINS THE INTERNET SHUTS DOWN FOR ABOUT 5 MINS AT A TIME AND I NEED A PRORAM THAT WILL PING A SERVER EVERY 10 SECONDS TO CHECK FOR CONNECTIVITY.

IS THERE A PROGRAM I CAN USE TO LOG WHEN THERE IS CONNECTIVITY OR NOT SO I CAN SEND IT TO MY ISP?

ALSO... IF ANYONE KNOWS VISUAL BASIC 6, I HAVE VIUAL STUDIO ENTERPRISE EDITION SO IF YOU POST THE SYNTAX, I CAN COMPILE IT

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Open a dos window, use this command.
netstat 10
CTRL+C stops it.
