 .SYNOPSIS
-	Ping a host
+	Pings a host
 .DESCRIPTION
-	This PowerShell script pings the given host continously and shows the roundtrip times in a horizontal chart.
+	This PowerShell script pings the given host.
 .PARAMETER hostname
-	Specifies the hostname or IP address of the host to ping (windows.com by default)
-.PARAMETER timeInterval
-	Specifies the time interval in milliseconds to repeat the ping (1000 by default)
+	Specifies the hostname or IP address to ping (windows.com by default)
 .EXAMPLE
-	PS> ./ping-host.ps1
-	-----------------------------------------
-	   Ping Roundtrip Times to windows.com
-	-----------------------------------------
-	#1 ██████████████ 136ms
-	#2 ████████████████ 154ms
-	#3 █████████████████████████ 234ms
-	...
+	PS> ./ping-host.ps1 x.com
+	✅ x.com is up with 10ms latency.
