To: The Magical Mischief Tour
I just have one question: what happens when it rains or snows or there is a heavy dew?? We have SAT TV and we seem to lose it whenever the weather threatens. Does internet work on the same principle?

Anyway, satellite internet will do the same thing - it's a result of the frequency that's being used, which is the same range for both satellite internet and DSS TV. Rain fade is just one of those things you have to deal with when you're broadcasting in the Ku band.
