    I am surprised that you failed to work into this story that an old codger was to blame, rather than an old tv.

    The culprit was much older than me.



    Revealed: Pensioners whose ageing TV set sent out rogue signal that blocked village's broadband at 7am every day for 18 months



    Alun, 67, and Elaine Rees (pictured together, left), 63, were unaware that their old 16' Bush TV had been leaving their neighbours with poor broadband connectivity at 7am every day in the village of Aberhosan, Powys, Mid Wales (right). The 18-month mystery saw baffled BT workers replace a large section of cable that served the village, which is home to around 400 people, in a bid to fix the mystery issue. After exhausting their options, they were forced to call in the Openreach Chief Engineer team, a crack team described as the company's 'SAS', in a bid to fix the problem. The team found the 'electrical noise' responsible was due to the couple's TV set.

    Dont show the "Do You Know The Woman" thread to Mrs Misty, as she will be extremely distressed over such a horrible waste of perfectly good wine.
