You are assuming all devices have 3G?

  In any case, if the wifi AP responds with "impossible" results, the wifi access point is for all purposes "unusable", and you wouldn't be able to get on the internet anyways.

    internet connection != http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html When did "successful wifi connection" mean having access to this unstable apple.com url?

      Since for 99.99999% of users being able to visit a web page means the internet is working. Remember Apple never optimises for edge case.

    I had no idea the entire internet became unreachable when a particular apple.com URL became inaccessible. Is there an RFC that covers this?

      nope, but a better fallback would probably be: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2549 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2549
