Does it feel like the internet speed slows down when it rains?
Thread Content
It’s raining, and the internet speed seems very slow. Could it be related to the increased impedance caused by the wet ground? A beginner’s question
I hadn’t noticed; it hasn’t really rained much here in the past couple of years.
Yes, when it rains, the humidity in the air increases, and areas such as network cables, various junction boxes, switches, and server rooms become more humid, which raises the resistance to signal transmission.
So there really is such a factor after all
I really haven’t noticed any difference in internet speed depending on whether it’s raining or not; it seems to be just as slow in both cases
Yes, and the network transmission cables are connected directly, so the impact is quite noticeable.
It’s raining, so everyone stays at home and uses the internet; as a result, the internet speed slows down. This has nothing to do with the impedance caused by humidity.
