An incredible incident happened in the village of Aberhusan in Britain. An old troubled TV was running the internet for 18 consecutive months, all over the village, every morning at 7 p.m.
The mystery of why an entire village lost its internet connection every morning at 7 a.m. was solved when the internet provider's engineers discovered that the culprit was an old TV set.
A resident at village of Amberosan in Wales, was unaware that his old television set was emitting a signal that interfered with broadband connection of the entire village. The strange thing about the case was that the signal disappeared every day at 7 in the morning, like clockwork.
This story lasted 18 months (!!) as its engineers Openreach internet provider they could not find what was wrong. They started various repair works, carried out an entire cable replacement program, but nevertheless failed to solve the problem.
In the end and after trying all the classics solutions, χρησιμοποίησαν μία συσκευή παρακολούθησης. Οι μηχανικοί περπατούσαν γύρω από το χωριό με μια οθόνη που ονομάζεται αναλυτής φάσματος και προσπαθούσαν να βρουν οποιοδήποτε «electric noise' to identify the problem. Until they discovered that an old television, which the owner turned on every morning at 7 o'clock, was creating electrical interference and affecting the broadband signal. The TV was found to emit a single high-level noise (SHINE), which causes electrical interference to other devices.
Of course they informed the culprit and the embarrassed owner, who did not want them to be known data of him, he promised never to use his television again. The village now has a stable broadband signal.
Susanna Rutherford, chief engineer at Openreach for Wales, said anything with electrical components, from outdoor lights to microwaves, could have an impact on broadband.
And he mentioned about: "We would just advise the public to make sure that their electrical appliances are properly certified and that they meet current British standards."
