[Bug 1413302] Re: GSM connected, but no data plan - should report disconnected

 

Connectivity-api relies on NM to inform when we have Internet
connection.

We need more info.

I've never used a SIM where your data plan can "run out". Could it be
that the mobile broadband connection actually success to activate
(device gets an IP, maybe even a DHCP record), but no data is being
routed through..

If above is in fact what happens, then only way to detect the Internet
connectivity is to enable Captive Portal detection in NM and use that
info inside connectivity-api to signal the actual "online" status.

 @cyphermox, could you take it from here to continue to investigate.
