Internet conundrum

[FluorescentArmy]

My Verizon DSL, (Yes, it sucks), drops every time it rains. I live in Pennsylvania and it rains quite frequently. Also, it drops when it thunders and lightnings. Does anyone have an idea what is causing this?

Re: Internet conundrum

Are you using one of Verizon's wireless PC cards to find internet, or are you getting internet through a wire?

Drop Verizon And call them about it.

I imagine the rain and lightning is some how causing interference in your internet connection. In which case, you need to buy like...a million fans (or build one massive fan) and every time rain clouds approach, you can blow them away.

Actually, after doing some research on the matter, it seems that there are many different people living in PA with the same problem. Possibly something going wrong at Verizon. I would suggest calling/complaining/asking if they've been experiencing outages in your area and what you can do about it.

That'll work too.

Re: Internet conundrum

Jewpin's idea is hot. I get the internet through a line. I have called them and they have replaced the line twice.

Check if you can get FIOS. I know they're rolling it out slowly but surely in Pennsylvania.
