How can I run a long ping test?

[Friedbiscuit]

I have been having serious internet issues where my internet works for 10-15 minutes then crashes for 1-2 minutes. My internet also works perfectly fine from 12am-10am, and after that I can hardly get on the internet. I called my ISP they said everything is looking good on their side of things. So I went and replaced my router, and that still didn't fix the problem. (This issue started about 3 weeks ago).

Basically they said they would send someone out to plug directly into our dish and run tests for an hour and see if its their equipment or not, and if its not (which i highly doubt it isn't) they want to charge $150. So I hooked myself in directly, but I don't know how to run a ping test.

I've gone into Cmd, and >ping google.com. But that only pings it 4 times, I need to run a test for about an hour and see how many packets I lose so I know what results they will get before they come out and try and jib me $150.
