Interesting tale about a persistent internet problem in a small village. Over the past eighteen months, every morning at 7am, the local broadband went down. After fixing cables and troubleshooting, it turned out an old TV was causing the interference. Lol, BBC News covered it—old TV led to 18 months of no internet! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54239180

It's definitely making headlines lately, specifically in the tech area. It seems the updates in the forum are quite surprising for everyone.

We maintain a clear set of requirements for Tech News articles. You're welcome to adjust the content and we can revert it if it fits. Since there’s no specific section for Cable services, I shifted the focus to the closest related topic. An inexperienced user mistakenly thought broadband equals cable service.

In fact, upon reconsideration, it's possible to relocate it there too. If anyone is convinced, I can make the change. I don't have a firm stance either way, and I'm not under any influence.

Networking perhaps... maybe it's off-topic or it was just a news article. This is completely unrelated to home theater gear. The old TV that crashed the internet doesn't fit here either—still not in this thread or the displays discussion. Come on, let's stop confusing ourselves!

I hope the person affected received fair payment for what would likely be a forced halt to using the TV. I also question how a consumer TV could overwhelm even an old CRT with Wired broadband. Either poor shielding in cables and devices or full wireless transmission makes more sense. Still, I suspect the owner is now paying out of pocket.
