It does - in my book, as I still follow "offline first" mindset, albeit ISPs and Telco will insist that mindset is from a millenium looong time ago... It helps when testing the client is not only connecting via Virtualbox internal network switch, but instead calls into different PC server boxes where you can introduce network errors by unplugging a cable instead of messing with config files or router settings like WLAN on/off, DHCP, IP #, device name, DNS via ruled proxy, kickout at certain times... ;-)

If WLAN or mobile is in the possible loop, add a hint to err mess on checking that as automatic switch to another WLAN might have happened due to location/signal strength difference plus visiting coffee maker...
