interference

Was on the phone and using the tubes last night at the same time. Tubes stopped working. My ISP is via wireless, as I think I've mentioned before. The ISP has a x-mitter on top of a water tower a couple miles from my house, and i have a small antenna on my roof to receive it. Apparently, this works at 2.4GHz, which happens to be the same frequency as my cordless, and has been known to get interference from the cordless. It's the first time the web has stopped working while i was on the phone, but the tech support guy indicated that was probably the issue.

Sure enough, i reset everything, got off the phone and it worked. when i called back to tell the guy that, it stopped working again. got off the phone and it was fine. shit, guess i need to get a new cordless, (higher or lower frequency) or just live with it.
