    Interesting, I had satellite Internet through explorer and only the heaviest of blizzards would cut access to the internet. Had an uptime of probably 99% through the year. Wonder why satellites further away wouldn’t have a problem with rain but starlink ones do.

      I would hazard a guess that they were running a geostationary setup rather than Starlinks LEO approach.
