I'm putting together an app which uses cell phones and modems to set up an information download. We are running into problems with really slow connections extending the connect time to unacceptable levels. I would like to detect a slow connection as sonn as possible, and alert the user, giving themthe option to abort the connection before it lasts too long. I already have an abort button active on the form, but it takes too long for the user to realize that they already have a bad connection. I'd like to be able to detect it as soon as possible...
