In broadcasting, there's 'rainfade' when the amount of rain in an area cuts the transmissiont and reception of satellite signals. In the Good Old Days one could see this by the signal fading out as the rain got heavier. In the Good New Days the digital signal will stay until the error correction poops out. Then your video pixelizes and your signal goes bye-bye.
In the New New Days of cable and fiber lines, we now have the term 'backhoe fade'.
This most often happens when the Lowest Bidder gets the construction contract.
