It may never be your fault, but I've definitely driven through rural Wisconsin or some hill valley in bumpkis USA where there is spotty cell tower coverage and then get the 'check internet' message and it was technically my fault as it was not a server issue.
Blindman13 said: How is the game supposed to tell the difference between a bad internet connection and the servers being down? All it knows is that it is sending a request and not getting a response. Rather than giving you a useless 'failed to connect' message, you get the suggestion to check your connection. If you do check and your device is able to connect through other methods then it is probably safe to assume that the problem is on the other end.
