Title: Hot Internet ?
Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 07 June 2021, 17:04:21
This is by far a crzy theory,

But have you guys noticed, the internet "feels" faster when the weather gets hot ?

That's just your brain slowing down in an effort to keep cool.

People go out and do things when it's warm and do less when it's cold out.
Rainy days are often slower.

Since Internet is a viscous fluid warmer weather allows Internet to loosen up a bit in it's tubes while traveling from the production plant to your home.

When it snowed and school closed in the small college town where I used to live, Netflix became unusable. If I could even get a movie to start, it would constantly be interrupted by buffering. That's the most dramatic effect I've ever seen on Internet bandwidth.
