New IP assigned during Smokeping test

I am trying to document problems with my internet connection for my ISP. I started running Smokeping, but after about six hours, my connection was dropped entirely and I was assigned a new IP address. The test continued, but I assume that it was now pinging someone else besides me. I started Smokeping again from the new address, but this time was dropped and assigned a new IP after only about an hour. I still had the browser window open, so I was able to halt that test, and start a new one from the third address. I have a feeling that my connection will continue to drop frequently. Is there any way that I can complete enough of this test to show a pattern? Is there some other test that would work better to show dropped connections, in addition to slow speed? Thanks.
