Can weather cause problems logging on or cause me to connect slower?
If you are or have experienced problems logging on to the internet and have been able to log on with no problems prior, it is probably caused by weather conditions such as rain. Rain causes static in the phone lines due to the presence of moisture and could last for days after adverse weather is gone. People who live in rural areas have even noticed a difference in connection stability and speed when the wind blows. What can you do? Look at your settings and ensure they are properly set.
