    3 is possible if the physical run to your home is in bad shape. I’ve known two people who had weather dependant internet due to that.

      Actually, I’d chalk it up to a radio backhaul between the fiber demark and the ISP’s router. Providers do weird shit sometimes.

      But I’d be surprised if getting a fiber connection wet would affect it.
