    A kind of reverse video killed the radio star :D
    The mystery of why an entire village lost its broadband every morning at 7am was solved when engineers discovered an old television was to blame.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-54239180

    So...if we subsidise all the culchies to replace their old tellies with brand new 4k units, would that solve the rural broadband issue ?

    Might be cheaper than the current plan :D

    You need a few lessons in how to arrange a post. That was absolutely woeful.

    I love how they went through a cable replacement programme before they eventually decided to use a monitoring device to search for the fault.

    That's a bit like replacing all your bulbs before you check the fuse board.

    New poster telling a 15 year Mod how to post, ha.

    That video was the first on MTV.
    Have a family member that would know if a TV (Cathode tube) was switched on anywhere in a house.

    Was there really an internet star? Nothing beats the radio, anyone who needs a visual to appreciate the depth and story of a song is just lacking in imagination and creativity.

    To truly listen to a song, one has to close one's eyes.

    Buffering and latency on your end due to low bandwidth.
