I installed privoxy as a transparent proxy on a gateway machine, and I have Sonic for an ISP. I'm seeing a lot of requests to http://updateservice.sonic.com/Ping.asp when I'm browsing random pages.

Does anybody know what that's about?

I have an unconfirmed guess that this is some sort of Microsoft CDN solution so they don't have to have a server cluster somewhere with a few Gbps of bandwidth to answer update queries every 10 minutes for every computer on the planet.

This comes from the Sonic update manager. You can remove it if you don't want its functionality.
