BTW the advertised connection speed is the theoretical maximum between you and the ISP's router. Speeds attainable after that depend on a variety of factors, including the location of the remote server, the remote server's connection/bandwidth, and the ISP's peering/routing arrangements. And if the NSA is working on the undersea cable.

Sunspots affect the ionosphere which affects how well short wave radio signals (ah fond memories) bounce around the world. On the other hand, the internet data and such travels mostly through cables laid on the ocean floor. And even if data travels by satellite link to an aircraft or the middle of the sahara I don't think sunspot activity has any effect.

Hemmm... They are a bit more intrusive than this depending on the intensity of the storm...
I had a Palm III that was a perfect canary in the coal mine. Full reset at every major storm.
Received quite a shitload of alert from spaceweather this week, but their refusal to make the alert message useful for mere mortal is disapointing...
Aside from this...
Yes, interwab sucks these days...
