NASA has stated that the solar activity appears to be following a cycle of 11 years and at its peak, solar storms could occur multiple times in a day. However, at other times, they can take place less than once a week.

    basically none of our commercial tier telecom/internet is milspec rated (shielded against extreme radiation) - if we get a 1859 level solar storm, the internet as we know it is, in a word, fucked.
