The only problem is the less friendly IP address (although this will be less and less a problem with IPv6, since 2001:4860:4860::8888 is not really friendly).
Au contraire, I find 2600:: easy to remember :P This can be partially mitigated with nice domain
names, that an access or service provider can set up.
The problem with a domain name is that you then have to rely on your DNS resolver. By directly specifying an IP address, you know that you are testing the internet, not your resolver. But yes, that would be the easiest way around it. If only ping.network didn't look as though it was squatting on the name for it's resale value... M
