Probably Stupid Question

[muninnhuginn]

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?

Some outdoor cats have cat flaps and can check for themselves, instead of sitting there meowing at the door until you open it, then deciding they don't like the rain and need to go and meow at the other door until you open that for them to decide that actually they won't go out there either.
Which doesn't actually exclude them from the original description, but does make them less annoying about it.

Ah, good point.

It's just we have three external doors, and the cat flap isn't in any of them (it tunnels through a wall). As a result, the cat will come shooting in through the catflap, and then ask us to check all the doors, please.
