title: WinRT timeout during a webrequest to detect slow internet connections
body: <p>Is there a sample code available online to get WinRT to determine if its a slow internet connection within the first second of a web-request call so that I can cancel the request and switch to a local file at the start of the program. Metro requirements expect the app to boot up under 5 seconds and I need my web-request (of 300kb) to return well before that. its usually fast on WiFi but 3G speed may vary.</p>
