It's 612Khz SHINE (Single Isolated Impulse Noise ) that causes ADSL service being disrupted.

I was thinking of posting this in P&N. No way this would happen in America because
1) The broadband provider would never bother sending people out to locate a rouge signal
2) The broadband provider would likely say well service isn’t guaranteed.
3) The person with the offending TV would not comply. FU internet.
