My neighbour runs a software business, apparently with 1000Mbps fibre connected to his property. Via 2 communication cables that pass over my drive to a telegraph pole. When I drive under these cables, I lose the radio reception in my cars, and at night we have interference on our upstairs TV. Could this be related to the neighbour downloading or uploading data to their customers?

Sorry I'm not sure how it works. There's a pole centrally located in front of my house, and what looks like 2 overhead phone lines passing diagonally over my drive to my neighbours house.

Thanks for the replies. There are power lines also attached to the pole, that connect to ours and both our neighbours houses. However an engineer from the power company came out, and his equipment couldn't detect any leakage from the power lines, at the pole or inside our house. Trying to get hold of the phone line operators seems to go around in circles.

What is it you would like to be the outcome of this?


Whenever the neighbour is away from home overnight, there is no interference with the TV reception upstairs. I don't think this is a coincidence. I'd like some more info before making a complaint to the phone line or broadband provider.

There’s a high probability that his broadband is still passing data when he isn’t there, so unlikely that is the correlation.
He's been away for a few days several times, over the last 3 years and the upstairs TV has had no interference each time. What else could the problem be?
