Re: Is there an easy way to monitor for Internet failures?

You might use something like PRTG.  It's free up to 100 "sensors" and 
can run from a Windows server/workstation.  I have used it in the past 
to monitor services and make sure certain ports are open. It can do 
service level checks and not just pings.
