Probably Stupid Question

But, can meteorological conditions affect broadband connectivity?

I only ask because yesterday, the first rainy day we've had in a while, Skype and dropped the call I made -- the first time I've had that happen -- and I kept losing my connection whilst editing spreadsheets on Google. I suppose the test is whether things work better today with the rain dripping down outside.

Of course this could be the same kind of coincidence as the apparent change in feline behaviour on rainy days. After all, why should indoor cats behave worse on wet days than dry ones?

Not per se, but a cabinet full of water doesn't help transmission...

Yes, I was wondering about water getting into the cable or the cabinet. I guess it's something you can't find out about easily as an end-user.
