Monitor-IO provided a system that did a constant measurement of your internet service and reported it to a service that would email you if things were down, or wonky.
They recently announced that they can't keep the service going, but instead of just making the device useless, they developed a standalone solution that replicated most of the functionality of the device, sans the backend services like email when down (which you can't do if your internet service is down.)
While I'm sad to see this go away, it's awesome that they are giving everyone a solution, you can even roll your own as it's a standard Orange Pi One board inside the box.
Cheers gents, this is how you do it.
