Hi team,
So, everyone loves thunder and lightning. Until it wipes out everything connected to the aerial or telephone lines.
Has anyone else experienced this? Fortunately most of the items in the house are on surge protectors, which appear to have done their job. The only things unprotected were those connected to an aerial or a phone line (apart from the HiFi, the Z5500s, the cooker hobs and the dishwasher).
I'm just wondering how much damage may actually have been caused. Is it just all the end point stuff that takes the hit? Everything connected to the Sky box appears to have been nuked, along with the sky box itself. The Netgear D7000 is very unhappy, along with the items mentioned above.
Will probably have the insurance people out shortly, followed by BT and Sky, but would be good to hear if anyone else has advice.
Cheers.
