Kerri Shotts commented on CB-12378:
-----------------------------------
Thanks for the enhancement request.
You should be able to approximate your request now by polling
{{navigator.connection.type}} on a recurring basis.
All that said, ideally you shouldn't be judging available bandwidth by checking
the network type -- it's possible, for instance, that this API might report
"wifi", but the user's actually connect to a WiFi Access Point that is then
connected to a slow cellular network, for example.
Instead, you should always test for a route to your host and check for network
conditions rather than expecting that the type of network will tell you
anything. (Just because a connection type is "wifi" doesn't mean it is fast, or
even has access to the outside world.)

> Currently, there are two events that we can listen to: online and offline. It
> would be nice if there was another event which was fired whenever network
> type changes. For example if user is online on Connection.CELL_4G and network
> type changes to Connection.CELL_2G, it would be great to know that because
> that's almost like there's no connection at all. Thanks!
