Intermittent cable headache

[haroldmeyer]

I've got Comcast cable for my high-speed internet as well as cable for my TV. My problem is after a small wind, breeze, or whatever, my internet goes out as well as my lower band channels on my TV. I've had Comcast techs over several times but by the time they show up everything has resumed working and all is well. They have checked all my wireing and splitters and everything seems to be kosher in my setup. But when the wind blows my cable goes out and I have to temperarily fix it myself, and I can do this by "shorting" the small carrier wire in the coax to anything grounded and it (the internet) will work for a while.I don't know why this works or what causes it in the first place, so if anyone has any kind of a remedy for my situation please let me know. Thanks much
