'oping' fixes that issue:

  $ oping msn.com
  PING msn.com (23.101.196.141) 56 bytes of data.
  echo reply from msn.com (23.101.196.141): icmp_seq=1 timeout
  echo reply from msn.com (23.101.196.141): icmp_seq=2 timeout
  echo reply from msn.com (23.101.196.141): icmp_seq=3 timeout
Also, in standard ping, you can type Ctrl+\ (sends the QUIT signal) to get an update, e.g.

  $ ping msn.com
  PING msn.com (23.101.196.141) 56(84) bytes of data.
  <<< Ctrl+\ >>>
  7/0 packets, 100% loss

ctrl+break does the same on windows ping.
