It's not your performance that should be of concern. This is not said in an accusatory manner, but it has always been considered very poor netiquette to constantly ping an ISP. It will unnecessarily waste **their** resources.

How would you feel if someone tossed a pebble at your office window once every second?
Once a minute is MORE than ample for a keep-alive ping. Once every few minutes would be even better...
