Installing wireless router near to electric meter and fuse box...
Quote from: pierre_pierre you could lash out and get one of those new devices that lets you monitor the usage from your armchair, switch the HiFi - 1000W amp speaker lot and watch the remote display go Ahhhh
You mean one of these!
OK, so starting to feel a little less guilty about my dads electric bills now some other people have 'fessed up to finding similar activites to pass the time!
Still think it's something he never EVER needs to hear about though

UPDATE
Well the router move was completed last night at my dads house, and was very successful! Pleased to report the router (now living about 2-3 feet from the meter) has synced at 1.9Meg downstream! The old line was lucky to get 1 meg! Who would of thought two phone lines originating from the same exchange and arriving at the same house could be so different!
I did try placing the router right next to the meter to see if there was any interference, but all looked ok, however cabling and asthetics meant i relocated to the bottom of the cupboard. Also, the router move has bizarrly boosted the wifi range considerably, I can now sit in the hotel bar accross the road and get online....
