this bug is not about informing the users that their data plan has ran
out or that there might be additional costs to data connectivity.

This bug is about Connectivity API telling the applications that there
is network connection available, but still no data is moving in or out.

First thing to figure out is that is the establishing of mobile
connection actually successful on technical point of view, or is there a
bug in either NM or ofono that they report a data connection being
connected when in fact on the technical level there is no data carrier.

If ofono and NM are behaving properly and from their point of view
everything is up and running (there is an IP assigned through DHCP and
DNS server being assigned by the operator) but the operator is simply
dropping all of the traffic on their end, then this becomes a (feature)
bug about enabling higher level "Are we connected to the actual
Internet" detection which can either be dealt with enabling Captive
Portal detection in NM or we cook up some other detection mechanism.
