Hi I keep loosing my broadband connection during thunderstorms, I am sure this never happened in the previous years. I usually loose it about an hour before the storm appears here, and then for the duration of the storm.
I think a lot of it is dependant on what portion of your lines are on overhead cables, as naturally these are more susceptible to induced voltage spikes from nearby strikes and/or seem to be more prone to connection problems at the termination points.
It could also be Exchange based though, I have heard rumours before that some smaller exchanges don't have "all" the equipment on redundant supplies..perhaps in your case this includes the DSLAM :-)
