Internet Connection

Question

I have two Internet Broadband Connections with Load Balancing Server.

Is there any tool available so I can monitor my internet connections and alert me for connection up/down status incase if any connection goes down.

Do you prefer a web site monitoring tool or a client-based tool? — Rilindo, Nov 13 '11 at 22:36

I monitor the external router IPs with Pingdom. It seems to work, just allow ICMP from pingdom's public IP list, set up email and SMS alerting. Sit back and enjoy the peace of mind.

I dont know of a tool offhand but I'm sure you can make a quick script/program to ping a website and monitor for packet loss or timed out requests. Once it detects the timeout it could alert you somehow. I used to do this for detecting outages on load balanced web servers.
