At this time of year it is possible for your connection to become affected by interference from Christmas lights; these may be either internal or external to the premises.
Interference from Christmas lights may cause your router to lose the ADSL signal (loss of synchronisation) or the connection may become intermittent. One way to determine this is to check to see whether the ADSL light on the front of your router has gone out.
If you have lost synchronisation it may be possible for you to identify any causes of internal interference by turning off any Chistmas lights and once again checking your ADSL router to see if your connection has returned.
It may also be possible to locate the exact cause of interference by tuning an analogue radio to Medium Wave 693 down to 612. By tuning in and walking around the premises with the radio you may pick up a high level buzzing when in the vicinity of faulty equipment.
Hopefully these simple checks will help you to easily identify any possible sources of interference over the Christmas period.
