Satellite internet is a great option for those who live in rural areas or in bad weather conditions. While it’s true that severe thunderstorms, heavy snow, or blizzards can temporarily interrupt the transmission of satellite signals; the problem isn't as significant as some might lead you to believe. Storm-related signal interruptions are commonly called "rain fade" and these problems get resolved quickly after storms pass by so your service gets restored immediately! Cable and fiber internet is also greatly affected by big storms because falling trees, debris, and others can break the cables.
