Why doesn't my Wildblue internet work when it is windy? It is very frustrating when I cannot get on when needed due to wind!!!!!

Not a very good excuse. Our dish is braced in multiple places and does not move around. Still frustrated!!!!!
Care to comment?Yes, why don't you contact customer support - this isn't a direct support venue.

Exactly right. Lot of different variables between the two.

Your Directv dish is smaller and doesn't have yo transmit a signal 22,000 miles into space. That's a big difference.

I never have any connection problems when it is windy. It sounds like your dish isn't securely mounted.

Just like when it snowed Friday night at my house. Why does the internet cut when it snows? Oh yea, snow covering the dish.
Sometimes you have to do some diagnosis on your own to figure the root cause.

My internet quit working a few months back when it snowed in Louisiana. Once the snow melted off the dish, Viasat was rocking and rolling again.

We northerns don't wait for melting! That coukd take hours or days! Get out the broom. If that doesn't work, get out the torch! Whatever it takes!

Well, when the wind blows it changes the air density. The stronger the wind, the "thicker" the air, and the harder it is for that signal to get through.
And yes, I'm just kidding. I actually saw some numskull post this once as an answer to a similar question, and the person wasn't joking. He was being serious, and truly believed it. SMH.

Sounds like Hughesnet customer service :).

Sometimes it's so thick you can cut it with a steak knife.....oh wait that's tension...

Sounds like Hughesnet customer service :).LOL. It was on the HughesNet board, but it wasn't one of the reps. The thread actually ended up being deleted as it started getting nasty due to a couple of individuals. It was hilarious, though. Believe me, it took every bit of strength to keep from replying to that post.

Likely that post was by Jab, he comes up with some strange stuff.
