Today we have released a new Windows 8 Modern UI app Ping. It allows you to easily check and monitor network connectivity speed between your Windows 8 device and other computer either on the local network or the Internet
The app is not based on ICMP protocol but instead relies on establishing TCP/IP connection and measuring packet latency down to 0.1 millisecond. By default port 80 is used. But custom port can also be specified (ex: mysever:443)
