Internet-Check

Internet-Check is a lightweight utility that enables you to check whether your computer is connected to the Internet on a predetermined interval. The role of the application is to check the connection and log the off-time and hence, help you establish whether you are receiving what you are paying for.

After a quick and uneventful installation, you are welcomed by a small, clean interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles. The default timer is 30 seconds, but feel free to include another one by simply clicking directly on the numbers and inputting a new value. That's about all about the configuration and you can click the Start button to start gathering data.

The program can be stopped at any time and you can view the logs by clicking the Open command. You can repeat the test whenever you want and delete collected data via the Clear button. The app comes with minimalistic Settings that allow you to toggle to dark mode, start with Windows and show solely in the System Tray.

While the aforementioned settings are simplistic, advanced users can change various aspects of the application's functionality by editing the AdvancedSettings.xml file. The file is found in the AppData folder and can be edited with any edition, including the default one in Windows. However, bare in mind that incorrect changes may prevent the app from running.

According to the developer, there are several things that can be changed via the XML file, including here the servers that are pinged, using alternative ping methods, setting the action on a failed ping event or editing update notifications left, just to name a few.

Internet-Check is a handy tool that allows you to gather important and detailed data about your Internet connection, namely if the computer is connected and recording the offline time.
