Signs of Weather-Related Trouble

• service cutting out when storms roll through
• connection coming back but running slower or flakier
• brief, repeated dropouts during or right after severe weather
• higher latency or jitter once service is restored

Before the Next Storm

1. If you can, put your router and modem on battery backup.
2. Have a mobile hotspot or backup way to get online for urgent tasks.
3. Keep important files available offline.
4. Note when outages start and stop so you can give support clear details later.

After Service Returns

Test over a wired link first, then check Wi‑Fi in the rooms you use most. If problems continue, share exact times and what you saw so support can tell whether the issue is on the line or inside the home.

FAQ

Is it possible to avoid weather-related issues entirely?
No. Every provider can be affected by severe weather; the difference is how quickly and reliably service is restored.

Why does my connection feel worse after a storm even when it’s “back”?
Lines or equipment can be damaged in ways that cause ongoing issues until repairs are completed.

Do I need to replace my router or modem right after a storm?
Only if they’re physically damaged. Often the cause is outside your home and requires provider-side repairs.
