Is lightning strike an issue?
The satellite dish is only as vulnerable to lightening strike as your television antenna. However, you are responsible for any damage to the system, whether it is from lightening strike or any other means (refer to the application form). All computers are susceptible to power surges, which are a common occurrence in stormy weather, so it is suggested that your computer and the Aussie Broadband satellite modem be turned off and disconnected from the power supply during these conditions.
