IsTheInternetUp?

CHECK THE STATUS OF YOUR INTERNET CONNECT AT A GLANCE

I have used a DOS shell with a ping -t command to check if my internet is working for years. While my internet was up and down During Hurricane Milton , I turned my basic batch file into a small application.

IsTheInternetUp tries to connect to the internet several times per second and reports back with an UP or DOWN. It can easily be resized and is multi-threaded to make the interface more responsive.

CHANGELOG

October 9th, 2025. Built the app and put up this quick about page. I might add an optional function to ding when the internet goes up or down but that could get annoying. -Rob
