Since you are developing for mobile (Android) i have the following thoughts:

1. the connection type and speed on mobile devices may and actually most probably will change from one moment to another. Unlike in an desktop environment
2. event with a fast connection it depends how much load other apps generate on the connection
3. from within your application you can only test how fast the connection is by downloading a file and measure transfer. But again this doesn't include the load during the transfer from other apps. So you should go rather for a system-specific solution. For example see this utility class to determine the (current) connection type on Android

Not that i am aware of.
But with the provided java class included into your app, you should be able to call it using QAndroidJniObject in a one-liner.
