Anyone else get the seasonal speed boost?

(1/3) > >>

Bowdon:
I've noticed when the weather becomes colder the speed that my connection resync's at increases slightly.

Does this happen to anyone else?

burakkucat:
I observe an annual cyclical change in the Hlog plot for my (ADSL2, ITU-T G.992.3) circuit. The hotter the weather the poorer the plot, the colder the weather the better the plot.

Ronski:
My old VDSL line was always better during the winter.

jelv:
Yesterday I saw my router sync at below 79998 for the first time so I'm not seeing any benefit.

niemand:
Services delivered over metallic paths are subject to changing conditions depending on the weather.

This can be seen most easily on cable networks where receive and transmit power can change as the coax shrinks and expands due to temperature and its conductivity changes.

Lower temperature means lower attenuation which is how the LHC manages to shift over 11,000 amps through stuff the thickness of fuse wire: the wire is superconducting as it's marginally above absolute zero :)
