Methods and systems are provided for connecting an electronic device (405) to a network. In some situations, the electronic device (405) connects to a first network provider (410) and pings a first server (420) having a static internet protocol address and a second server (425) having a dedicated uniform resource locator. If the electronic device (405) receives a response from the first (420) and second server (425), the electronic device maintains its connection to the first network provider (410). Otherwise, the electronic device (405) connects to a second network provider (415) and pings the first (420) and second servers (425).
