Check out WebSitePulse.com  While they too are geared for service  
testing (such as HTTP, DNS, IMAP, etc); they do offer a barebones ICMP  
check (with support to pull from multiple geographical locations) with  
some basic graphing & escalation support (looks like they can notify  
when a predefined threshold of round-trip time is exceeded).
