I have been paying attention to stats based around weather, major natural events and man made events for years on top of years...

Super bad weather in Cali or FL will slow sales down. Floods in the east side of the Country, slow down our sales. Every major sporting event in the world, slows our sales down.

When you have bad weather, you have routes that go down, things get slower at switches, electricity goes out - backups run out of juice, techs can't get in to correct issues and/or so many issues they can't find the real problem.

And.... the last week, several major backbones have had issues. Not sure if it's weather related, but I know of two massive backbones that went down in the last week... One in the state CCBill is in, not sure if they use them as a backbone though. - But I do know we don't have many to choose from.
