Maybe the most reliable time-critical way to check would be to open your own socket on port 80 to something like www.google.com. By setting the SocketTimeoutInterval to a low value you would find out quickly if the timeout occured without a response. I'm thinking that you would not even send a GET request, just see if the socket could be opened.
