[a] Openreach engineers were baffled by the continuous problem. They

walked around the village with a monitor called a spectrum analyser to try

to find any ‘electrical noise’ to help pinpoint the problem. “At 7am our

device picked up a large burst of electrical interference in the village. It

turned out that at 7am every morning the occupants of a certain house

would switch on their old TV which would, in turn, knock out broadband for

the entire village,” said Mr Jones.

[b] So what else can cause broadband problems? Suzanne Rutherford,

Openreach chief engineer’s lead for Wales, said anything with electric

components − from outdoor lights to microwaves − can potentially have an

impact on broadband connections.

[c] The TV was found to be emitting a single high-level impulse noise

(SHINE), which causes electrical interference in other devices. The

embarrassed householder promised not to use the television again. The

village now has a stable broadband signal.
