[Malvern] [OT] ADSL speeds

[Andy Morris]

Doesn't surprise me. I have WiFi problems here, now, because there at 
least 5 units operating within reception distance, and with only 13 
channels to choose from, and with a 2-channel separation to maintain, to 
avoid co-channel interference, there is occasionally a "channel-race" 
which takes all of them out.

This can only get worse.
