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!
