or:They don't. However in your particular case it depends on how you connect to the internet. Some systems, such as beamed line of sight, may be vunerable to certain weather conditions. For most systems the weather is not a factor except during thunder storms when there may be high electrical potentials in the atmosphere and even then that won't affect cable or satellite internet.
