There's no such thing as "internet time". You can get the current time from a SNTP server. There's a CodeProject article that provides a SNTP client class:

SNTP Client in C#[^]

Once you retrieve the time from the desired SNTP server, you can compare that datetime to the datetime retrieved from your SQL server box.
