My broadband (tascali) keeps cutting out. Could it be the bad weather we are having at the moment.

Definitely, I have had a lot of bad weather recently and my broadband connection is much slower or cuts out completely during. Normal reception returns as soon as the weather has passed.

tiscali, not tascali...
Yes indeed it can although it's not too often (fortunately). If some part of the phone line gets wet, even if the lines are isolated the DSL's high frequencies may interfere more between lines, for example. Also there can be a problem in the connection points (the line is usually made up of several parts connected together), you already saw such connection boxes of the telecom company in the streets. If the wire is old or not perfectly connected, the air wetness can deteriorate the signal.
But it's only one of the possibilities. Maybe so work is being done on the lines, etc...

Yes it could.
Overhead phone wires - wind or snow
Underground wires - frost or water
Coax cable is affected by ingress of water - example, the downlead from your roof aerial will need replacing after a few years as the signal is degraded over time. Water gets into the airspace in the cable and changes the properties of the dielectic insultator between the central core and the outer wire sheath.

The wording of your question is obscure. in case you advise by using "broadband instantaneous connection" the relationship from the ISP on your area using a instantaneous link (e.g. satellite tv for pc, cellular, or a instantaneous tower broadcast on your information superhighway dish, and so on), the transmission will be weakened by using climate outcomes the picture of all radio frequency transmissions will be weakened. in case you advise by using "broadband instantaneous connection" a instantaneous link between your instantaneous get entry to point and your LAN gadget, it truly is an 802.11 instantaneous link, the reply, once back is convinced that's achieveable. when you consider that maximum of this kind of connectivity is interior the top result's not likely as important. opposite to what the pc tech reported, all Radio Frequency publicizes are climate stimulated.

Telephone lines underground can be especially affected by rain. Cable is not immune either. My ntl: connection in Essex used to really go downhill at the first hint of a good downpour.

Check all you cable connections right back to the phone socket where the line enters your house. If there is still an issue report it as an engineering fault.

Certainly does around here, 'cos BTs lines are crappy old overhead copper which goes to pot at the first sign of heavy rain or strong winds. Well-known local pain.

Yes, it actually could. If you continue to experience this interruption of service after the bad weather, contact your ISP.

Yes it can if the cable or phone lines are faulty! The cable and phone lines have disconnects and when the wind blows hard enough they will trip.
