In some areas, record wind speeds of up to 114mph were even reported.<\/p>\n<p>Such storms do have an impact on fixed broadband and mobile connectivity, which can be caused by a variety of different factors from storm damage (wind, floods etc.) to power outages and power surges (lightning) etc. Such things, when occurring over a wide area, can impact network capacity, stability and performance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ookla.com\/articles\/storm-eowyn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ookla&#8217;s data<\/a> found that, on the day of the storm, median mobile download speeds in Ireland (10.04Mbps) were 78% lower than the preceding 7-day average of 47.43Mbps, while median latency was 23% higher at 47.6ms. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, mobile broadband download speeds at the 10th percentile \u2014 a critical metric reflecting the poorest network performance \u2014 dropped significantly on the same day, falling by 63% to 2.19Mbps and by 74% to 1.31Mbps, respectively, compared to the 7-day average.<\/p>\n<p>Network disruptions also drove a &#8220;<em>dramatic deterioration<\/em>&#8221; in the <strong>Quality of Experience<\/strong> (QoE) of bread-and-butter consumer applications.
