    is anyone else having serious trouble with their connections at the moment? or is it just me and/or Leap?

    Im open to correction on this, but ive heard that one of leaps antenna got a direct hit of lightning last night. That could have put it out of action until they can repair/replace the equipment.

    While the signal will be affected by bad weather, the effect should usually be minimal, and assuming a good installation you should not even notice the service slowing down.

    I think the 3-Rock t/x was struck by lightning. Their n/w is microwave based so should withstand the rainfall, but during an electrical storm anything can happen!!
