If there's something strange In your neighborhood, who you gonna call?

For 18 months, residents of a village in Wales have been mystified as to why their broadband internet crashed every morning... Then local engineer Michael Jones called in assistance...

 (Note: For a faster tracker, call a TSCM'er.)

Engineers used a device called a spectrum analyzer and walked up and down the village "in the torrential rain" at 6 a.m. to see if they could locate an electrical noise, Jones said in a statement. 

"The source of the 'electrical noise' was traced to a property in the village. It turned out that at 7 a.m. every morning the occupant would switch on their old TV which would in-turn knock out broadband for the entire village." more | sing-a-long | TSCM'er
