3G to HSPDA TO 3g TO HSPDA TO 3G....

Do you think a ISP would mind if I continously ping its home page due to the fact that their signal keeps on changing from 3g to hspda if data usage drops which means I keep on losing connections, my ssl tunnels keep on disconnecting.

So a ping -t -l 1024 would keep it on HSPDA. Will they catch a fit?
 
i'd do a combination. icmp is very unreliable.

http get to well known CDN
dns lookup (multiple dns servers)
ping

probably in that order. people do take sites offline but some sites never go offline (like big cdn's). dns is pretty high uptime (like google dns) but ping is very low priority and is dropped frequently
 
If you continuously send a 1KB ICMP packet every second 24/7 for a month, you'd consume about 2.5GB of bandwidth.

Yeah, I doubt they'd be too happy about that.

lol true but its costing me a big zero lol

Ive used smaller packets and havent gone off hspda since last night. My SSL tunnel is a bit better but I think theyre using a lot of filtering. Struggle to connect earlier but encryption changed that
