Intermittent internet service. Have you been experiencing this too lately?

This is a problem we have been experiencing for almost 2 weeks now, since we were hit with a powerful lightening and thunder storm...a really powerful storm that actually shook the house.

We have called the internet provider (every day at least), had their technician come out to check, received notice that they have checked our line remotely (because the phone reception is also very static-y) and changed the modem.

Changing the modem has helped some but we have been blessed with a lot of needed rain lately and every time it rains the internet goes down.

Today I went out and temporarily taped a plastic bag over the connection box to the house but service has been interrupted twice since then.

Any ideas?
