In the Xamarin plugin [Connectivity (Xam.Plugin.Connectivity)](https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/ConnectivityPlugin), there is an easy way from the PCL to detect network connectivity changes, like:

```
CrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectivityChanged += (sender, args) =>
{
    page.DisplayAlert("Connectivity Changed", "IsConnected: " + args.IsConnected.ToString(), "OK");
};

```

The property `IsConnected` is read only, so my question is:

**Is there a way to manually / programmatically set `IsConnected` to false or otherwise simulate a lost network connection?**
