Old TV caused village broadband outages for 18 months

Interesting story in the BBC today highlighting how an old TV caused 18 months of problems for a small Welsh village -

The mystery of why an entire village lost its broadband every morning at 7am was solved when engineers discovered an old television was to blame.

An unnamed householder in Aberhosan, Powys, was unaware the old set would emit a signal which would interfere with the entire village's broadband.

After 18 months engineers began an investigation after a cable replacement programme failed to fix the issue.

The embarrassed householder promised not to use the television again.

The village now has a stable broadband signal.

I hope they're eventually able to see the funny side, but I can imagine something like that takes some getting over in a small village environment...

Cheers,
