Hello Tim,
there are two reasons why this is happening,
mrtg wants integers and no fractions ...,
and I wrote mrtg-ping-probe to monitor WAN links ;-)
possible solutions include:
* use smokeping -- very cool, sexy tool from Tobias
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/smokeping/
* i find the time to add a "multiplier", where I multiply the
return values by e.g. 1000 to return us instead of ms.
or try this quick hack in the script (assuming you run mrtg-ping-probe
on Unix and not Windows):

looks almost like modem line noise ;-),
basically you just multiply the ping time ($pt) with 1000,
don't forget to adapt the legend for the graphs to note the
numbers are microseconds and not milliseconds.
Hope this helps
