How To Kill Your Neighbours Broadband - Hilarious.

BBS Wales News - Location Powys.

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.

It is funny but it's a bit worrying how easy it is to cause such mayhem. Can you imagine the conspiracy theories?

Wish I could use something to cut my neighbours broadband, then her TV (needs the router info) wont work and I can hear my own TV and not hers as its so loud.

I thought this was a charming story, poor householder he must be so embarrassed.

The last thing I'd want to do is kill my neighbours' broadband.

What Wi-Fi would I use when I want to pursue a few of the more "esoteric" sites out there on t'internets?

I have an old wireless camera which broadcasts on / near 2.4Ghz and it can kill your broadband wireless.

When I had a loud neighbour playing music at a ridiculous volume I simply turned my speakers to the wall and blasted Blur - Song 2 at them for about 2 minutes, wait a minute to see if he stopped, another 2 minutes, wait and so on.

Rarely needed more than two times for them to realise they were outmatched.

I think the Broadband provider should've bought them a new Telly!
