Unfortunately, any Web Browser is a poor tool to test Internet Connectivity.
Try using the ping tool. Ping the web site you are trying to visit. This tests
both DNS functiionality and the availability of the server. But be aware that
certain sites (eg. MS & CNN) block pings. If you can connect, then look at the
transit times. If the transit times vary widely, then you may have a packet
loss problem.
