Why does our internet go out anytime it rains?
Our Cox high-speed internet cuts out every time it rains. Even in a slight drizzle it’ll slow down to the point where I can’t conduct a Zoom meeting, which is a major problem because I work from home and my employer is 2,500 miles away. Needless to say, we can’t stream our TV shows either. Is there a node or hub somewhere near us that’s not properly protected from the elements or something?

First thing I would check is that the demarc(where the coaxial line coming from street is connected to your electrical ground) has a weather enclosure box on it. If there are any splitters in there, make sure they aren't waterlogged. Next, I would suggest having a technician investigate your tap, which is your connection at the street.
As for it being the whole node, are you aware of others in your area having the same problem?
