im currently using luci statistics and the ping plugin aimed at my gateway ip, this lets me see ping results 1/s, is there a better way?
Not sure what you are exactly looking for, but you might have a look at these network related plugins:
collectd-mod-ethstat
collectd-mod-protocols
collectd-mod-interface
collectd-mod-sqm
luci-app-lldpd

You already using luci-app-statistics with collectd-mod-ping. Ping to different external IPs along with ISPs. That will differentiate local vs. internet issues.
Install luci-app-sqm to manage bufferbloat on your end so it won't mess up your results under load.
Try mtr for more detailed results.
Look into "Smokeping" it'll show you latency/loss graphing over time to multiple targets. Complex setup but don't know if it's been built for OpenWrt though
Basically I want to track any downtime or spikes in ping respond / drop rates from the isp.
