A very fast check is whether you have a valid IP address assigned. Another more complicated way is to use the network manager and listen for connection state changes. In case of you get disconnected you could keep this information in a persistent storage. Check this persistent information before you do any data connectivity. When the network manager receives a connection state change event for "connection established" change the persistent information to "connection established".
