** ANYONE EXPERIENCING INCREASED INTERFERENCE WITH WIFI OR CELL SIGNALS? **
Anybody else experiencing an increase in interference with WiFi, cell phone, or other wireless communication devices?

I have resolved myself to the fact that I get degraded performance from WiFi on the weekends when my neighbors are home and using their WiFi APs -- despite the fact that none of them appear to be sharing channel numbers with me. It's generally not too bad, and I can live with it. However, I am now experiencing problems outside my local home environment.

My cell phone became almost unusable, so I contacted AT&T tech support and they sent me a new SIM card. The new SIM card seemed to help a bit, but I was still having problems, so I installed the new SIM in a different phone and continued to experience the same problems. Garbled 'underwater' sound from whomever I was talking to, but they could hear me OK most (80%) of the time. Two different phones, two different SIM cards, and I experienced the problem in multiple locations -- miles apart from each other, in the Houston TX suburbs where cell phones have worked fine for years. I've also experienced similar issues with my wife's Verizon phone.

The past 4 to 6 weeks have been horrible, and the problems are getting worse -- especially in the past 2 weeks. I have several netbooks and a Playstation in my home which access the network via WiFi. For the past two weeks, these pieces of equipment have been dropping their WiFi connections entirely, requiring manual intervention to re-establish connection.

I have 2 Bluetooth keyboards which are also randomly losing connections with the USB dongles on the PCs.

Additionally, I have a friend using Clear's 4G broadband Internet service. He has two modems, a full-sized modem which connects to the PC via ethernet cable, and a dongle modem which plugs directly into the USB port on his laptop. Both of his modems have been dropping back to an almost unusable bitrate. He was getting 2Mbps download speeds a couple of weeks ago, but now he's getting 400k down and around 80k up. He lives over 10 miles from me, and has also experienced degraded performance in multiple locations.

Solar activity causing all this? Cosmic radiation? Seismic activity? Related to all the bird problems? Any other ideas?

These problems I have been experiencing are not negligible. They are very anomalous, and seem to be getting worse.

I started noticing it about 6 weeks ago, but the problems have been getting much worse over the past 2 weeks.

Buddy with the 4G broadband connection went from 3 bars to 1, and that's the typical scale with 5 bars. Fairly significant, I'd say.

Intriguing reply! If you are serious, what frequencies are you dialed in on, and what sort of buzzing are you hearing? Is it a constant buzz, or does it vary in frequency?

ALIEN DOMESTIC SHUTDOWN – MiB OPPRESSION


A family group in Midlothian, near Edinburgh, Scotland has been the target of various alien intercessions and harassments and today the 11th February, 2011 a relative who works for a security firm made an innocuous comment on the BBC home page expressing concerns about world peace and democracy.

Mr W left for work before 1pm on the 11th February 2011 made comments to the BBC world service forum at 4pm. Unknown to him though – things were not alright at home from the moment he left his house.

Here we see what the average concerned citizen of any democracy might post …

Should the US stay out of the Egypt reforms?

Posting: [made at 4pm on the same day]

I HEAR THE ADVICE FROM GREAT BRITAIN AND AMERICAN POLITICIANS THAT THEY WANT A DEMOCRATIC TAKE OVER IN EGYPT, FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE PROTESTING IN THE STREETS FOR A CHANGE OF GOVERMENT.SO (CALLED PEOPLE POWER)IF IN FACT THEY WANT A CHANGE OF GOVERMENT WHY THEN NOT GO THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX THEN THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE THIER DEMOCRATIC RIGHT TO CHANGE THE NOW SERVING POLITICAL PARTY.THE QUESTION SHOULD BE ASKED IF THE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN AND AMERICA THAT FEEL THAT THIER EXISTING GOVERMENT IE CAMERON AND OBAMA ARE NOT COMPLYING WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLES WISHES SHOULD WE AS THE PEOPLE MARCH ON DOWNING STREET AND THE WHITE HOUSE AND DEMAND A IMMEDIATE CHANGE IN GOVERMENT AND WOULD THEY ACCEPT THAT AS A TRUE REFECTION ON DEMOCRACY HOW LONG WOULD IT BE BEFORE THE TROOPS WERE ON THE STREETS TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE IN POWER. THAT INFACT WITH ALL THE SCANDAL WITHIN BOTH GOVERMENTS I THINK WE ALL NEED A NEW HONEST AND TRUE GOVERMENT ALL OVER THE WORLD I BELEIVE THAT THERE IS A HIDDEN AGEND BEHIND ALL OF THIS MADNESS PLEASE I WOULD LIKE SOME FEEDBACK

He was then notified by the BBC moderation team that his comment had been removed but by the time he got home at 9pm in the evening all the digital equipment in his house had been totally shut down, somehow zapped except for the computer upstairs which could not be switched off in any way although it was frozen.
One is tempted to think here that somehow James Bond unhappy at Mr W’s subversion even in a civilian security job – had despatched an entire hit team with EMP pulse rifles to teach him a lesson.
However, both the clock, the computer network show themselves to have frozen at 1:03 which was only a few moments after he left the house and several hours before he made any comment on the BBC website.
His digital electric fire was zapped and left not working – his mobile phone totally blacked out, his local internet network card had been unable to find any external network, his SKY satellite equipment was offline and whilst he was trying to phone his family was cut off on the landline three times in succession after only 5 seconds.

This event is evidence of alien intercession in everyday life, and an illustration of how it impersonates human authorities to create feelings of spiritual disease and fear.

Certainly Mr W got some feedback about the madness of the hidden agenda from the puppet masters themselves who generally speaking have a morbid fascination with this family group in Midlothian. Lets hope that they keep a fighting spirit and do not get subdued by the alien oppressors.

Interesting. This sounds a lot like what I have been experiencing lately. Way too many problems to write off as coincidence.

yes and it is going to keep getting worst.... our WiFi technology is not able to do the job and also the solar flares, the magnectic shifts of the earth and other things are messing them up.... do not invest in too much WiFi right now.... it will not help...

I have SPrint WiFi card and it floats all over the USA.... it is bouncing off of towns in Texas and then Okalhoma, Californai florida... all over the place!!!

and it is going to hell, so to speak by this fall.....

My cell phone has become practically useless and it is only a few months old. Battery drains in less than 1 day with no usage, and it is a fairly new battery. Spotty and eratic drops in signal strength and garbled calls. Our home WIFI is in and out as well, TVO connections etc, data drop outs increasing. Static electricity has become so huge in our house that my husband and dog shreik when I kiss them at times.

That's about when ours went out. The top of the oven became very hot and it powered off. The screen went dark. After cooling for an hour, we were able to get it to power back on, and it has been working for quick little 1 minute jobs, but we plan to replace it.

I was just bitching about this! Cell wouldn't connect all day and for the past couple of weeks DSL has had regular bouts of (as little as) 800 bytes transfer rate...

If I didn't have to set aside 2+ hours to speak with ATT about it, I'd have already been raising cane.
