Never have heard this before..

 

Normal broadband speed was around 2.5Mb which at the distance from the Exchange was considered quite good. And then one day the Satellite distribution box decided to develop a fault (although we did not know that at the time since the satellite TV was still working fine). Suddenly our broadband failed completely. ISP suggested that our modem was faulty - so a new one was purchased. Result was no better but a very old modem allowed us a connection....

A telephone engineer changed our wiring because it was suggested that the fault existed internally... but the broadband got worse...

 

Then we heard that our neighbours had problems... and nobody could solve it.. days passed...

 

Finally we had a BT engineer test our internal circuit and modified the wiring again.... at the same time another engineer has found that there was an incredibly strong RF signal that was causing interference on the telephone lines - and it was our satellite distribution box! It was switched off - and suddenly I had the best broadband signal that I have ever had - at 7Mb!

 

An emergency call to a satellite engineer has give us back the satellite tv and so every one is happy.... except our neighbours because they still can't achieve 7Mb!
