If you have any coding experience, you could try writing your own
check_ping_tcp.. a TCP ping (rather than ICMP) would probably get through your
ISP's filters.  If you have any perl coding experience you should be able to
do this very quickly using Net::Ping.

If you want to be able to check latency well, make sure you've got v2.31 --
that's where high resolution timing was introduced.  You'll also need
Time::HiRes installed.
