"Cold" causing internet/phone issues?

Does that happen?

I'm surprised I'm able to post this topic...The phone is all distorted and loading most sites takes an infinite amount of time (I have 1 site loading going on 10 minutes here)

It is a massive ~50 something here right now, Give me a break with this trash...If it were snowing maybe I'd understand

I can't load help.rr.com to check the network status to see if its a wide spread problem or just me (help.rr.com has been loading for 11 minutes)

Absolutely...heat and cold cause expansion/contraction which can affect an existing problem with a cable connection. What are your signal levels?

You'll likely need a truck roll as it's most likely a premises issue.

Figured out the problem

When we first moved in the guy put a signal booster or something in a room (it plugs into an outlet and TV cable plugs into it) if you unplug it EVERYTHING goes out, TV/NET and phones, I went in there and just gave it a little push and all is normal.

Damn thing always causing problems

That sends power to the booster somewhere in your house. Make sure the coax going to it is tightened with a 7/16 wrench but first check the center conductor inside the cable is pushed out far enough. At least 1/16 of an inch past the outside of the connector.
