Basically when there's a large solar flare it messes with satellite transmissions. Every 7 to 10 years the sun gets VERY active and storms. The possible outages you may have are part of that natural cycle.

If I remember right, it is when the suns position causes the signal to scramble do to the intense rays. This only lasts as long as it takes for the suns position to change again.

When the sun has a solar flare storm, it can send radiation waves, and disrupt our satellites.

I never heard of that before either. But that depends if it actually deals with the sun or not.
