We seem to have more of a problem when it is raining than when it is not. I wonder if some connection down the line gets just enough water into it to make the connection spotty. One way or the other, wet days tend to be frustrating days at my house.
I know that many other people who live in my area are envious of the connection that I do have when it is working, so I try not to get too worked up about this sort of problem. Still, I look forward to the time when high speed Internet connections are more widely available to (and cheaper for) everyone. I don't want the rain dampening anyone's connection.
