      Kokugos tend to have that as one sense, but I think it's better for us to have it like this.
Adding some more senses and making clearer.

I'll do the sentences after this is through.

      電話・インターネットがつながる ("to connect; to get through") is very common but only loosely covered by sense [1] ("to be connected"); the idiomatic "to get through" is missing. 大辞泉 attests 「電話が―・る」「光回線が―・る」 under its general sense ①, so this could alternatively be merged into [1] as added glosses rather than a separate sense.
