I'll repeat that it's not illegal to ping someone, even if it's done frequently.
If you can find anything within the law that suggests otherwise I'll be happy to stand corrected.
I'm not using their network without permission, WAN side ping is on, I have not circumvented any kind of security mechanisms to do so and am not causing degradation to their service, therefore no violation of Computer Misuse Act.
