That is funny.
I know that part of the world. Aberhosan really is the back of beyond. Halfway up the mountain a few miles from Machynlleth. It's a wonder theyve got tv let alone wifi.

For 18 months, at precisely 7am every day, the broadband signal in the tiny Welsh village of Aberhosan simply vanished.
Engineers were sent to the remote settlement in mid*Wales, which has a population of just 400, to investigate the problem. They spent days testing connections and replacing cables until they finally got to the root of the problem – one villager’s old telly.
The resident, who has asked not to be identified, turned his secondhand television on each day at 7am. It created a burst of “electrical noise” that brought down the neighbourhood’s broadband.

BT need to buy that fella a new tv - it’s their problem not his
Non story.
Apparantly the broadband and mobile speed/signal have been and still are crap after 10 years n the area.
A local on the news did a speed test after the said television had been switched off. The download speed was still just over 1Mbps.
Hardly solved the problem.
Talking of BB slowing down, has anyone in Cardiff noticed it’s not quite as good as it was a few months ago? Didn’t have any issues during lockdown, but the last few weeks it drops out or loses connectivity a lot more.
