As a follow up to Colin's comment, if you decide to check Internet availability using the default behavior of your app and you have a server or host that you're relying on, use that server for the test. Folks will often suggest using google.com as a network test because it's almost 100% guaranteed to be available, but that won't help your app if your own server isn't available.
