I have wifi at home and over the last few days the signal has been very weak and sometimes it randomly disconnected. I think the solar flare has been the problem:

Ive been keeping an eye on this.

Still not a huge amount of movement in the activity to cause us to see some good Aurora.

Infact its less now than it was yesterday http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/

Of course, the good old solar flare is the usual geek/IT standby that's great to roll out.

Your computer is crashing? Solar flares!
Crap TV reception? Solar Flares!
Wireless not working very well? CME!
Your car's cruise control going out of control? Solar Flares!

(The moon looked a few degrees off as well)
