Michael:

We have had occasional issues with dropped signals but it has no
discernable pattern.  The larger issue came after the Iridium satellite
collided with the other satellite. This has caused a gap in coverage.

>From what I have heard Sky Connect is working to get a new satellite up

to take the place of wrecked one.  I don't know when that will happen
though.

Has anyone been having issues with dropped Sky Connect signals -
especially during weather?  We are trying to track down any patterns.
