Fairy lights could 'slow' wi-fi speeds

I don't want to spoil your Christmas preparations but you may want to
know that Christmas tree lights can slow your wi-fi. This is a warning
from British watchdog Ofcom as it releases an app that can check home
broadband.

The video is not available outside the British Isles so ignore it.

Just watched it from the Netherlands.
I saw no explanation for the Christmas lights .
Walking away from the router always acts that way.

Well I would have preferred it if those fortunate to live in countries
not burdened with the totally incompetent quango, Ofcom, had not been
able to see it.

I wonder how much of my tax was used to pay someone to write an app that
says if you move out of range of wifi, it won't work as well?

Lots of dosh to someone who didn't attend the University of the Bleeding
Obvious.

Ask your local MP.

Apparently the people who are revising history have taken the British
defeat at Yorktown and the US Revolution out of the history books,
because here in the North Carolina USA I can see the video.

They could just as easily have used some sort of free
scanner tool, to make measurements and interpret results.

I don't use Wifi at all here, so don't have any first hand experience
with such things.

They created jobs for them, at least!!! They could have used your
taxes to pay some teen age girl to get pregnant to get social housing
and.or tax credits and/or benefits of some kind.

You really need to understand how politics work. Look at David
Cameron. He decided to bomb Daesh so that some more refugees can come
to Britain!!!!

For those who are not aware of Daesh then please note that the terms
Isis, Isil, and IS are not to be used from now onwards as these terms
give them credence to their claim of an Islamic State when in fact they
are a bunch of Islamic Scumbags.

Just what you'd expect from an obvious troll poster. :-(

I'm going to set this thread to "ignore" status (just like all the
others that originate from troll postings) to save me from the spectacle
of yet another troll feeding frenzy.

As you've set this to ignore I know I wont get an answer from you, but
I'm finding it difficult to understand why you think this is a troll
post.
