Hi all,
Every time we get the slightest bit of weather, our current landline based internet cuts out. Rain, mist, cold, snow or wind.
Obviously, there's something not connected right but we've been unable to convince anyone to come out to fix it, they "reset our line", which magical makes it work again for about 10 days unless there's more weather.

We're considering satellite internet for this reason and I don't know what good or bad or if it's a viable solution.

I'm aware it can stop working in heavy clouds and weather as well but I'm hoping a lot less than our current service.

Any ideas or other recommendations?

I've heard Starlink is pretty good.
 
Depending where you live I recommend starlink. You'll need a clear view of the sky. We were some of the 1st people to try it out the beta testing. I was literally the only one on my road with good Internet for about 2 years before other in my area could get it. I've actually never had an issue in bad weather. I have 3 teenagers all online games. 20 + device on it at all times. $120 month definitely worth it.
