Flibbertigibbet Posted May 1, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Has anyone noticed this or is it just me? I mean really heavy rain for hours on end. It's like wading through treacle at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalcase Posted May 1, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 1, 2012 It would depend on your connection. Wireless, Sat or cable. I would assume the first two would be slower or even effected by rain and lightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted May 1, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) I know someone who has connection problems when there's clouds around. They block his signal. Edited May 1, 2012 by Still Waters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMark Posted May 1, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Either too much traffic or bad signal. I have satellite TV at home and when the weather get really bad I sometimes experience problems. Shouldn't happen too often though. If it's a common thing for you and it's not about traffic, I suggest you check with your ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted May 1, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2012 That's what I thought too. I wouldn't have though technology would be much affected. I was kinda kidding. It's probably a combination of bad weather affecting connections, and real busy servers. Damp weather affects the static electricity around us... I think.

Ealdwita Posted May 1, 2012 #9 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I reckon it's because that in Cheshire once the trails get flooded, it's difficult for the Pony Express to get the signal distributed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMelsWell Posted May 2, 2012 #10 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I live in Seattle where it rains all the time. Internet is no slower when it rains, nor is it faster when the sun is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have satellite internet then the rain will effect the signal level making the speed slower If you have telephone DSL, the outside connections may be getting water into them, which will slow the speed down IF water is NOT getting into the DSL system, then your internet will run fast regardless what the weather is Edited May 2, 2012 by Beckys_Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
