No signal

By XxFA1LxX - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - Canada - Calgary

Today, my neighbors bought a signal scrambler to stop their kids from going on the internet at night. Too bad it blocks my internet too. FML

A scrambler, really? Has your neighbour ever heard of passwords and parental control? It's not that hard.

Pretty sure those are illegal, since they also block 911 calls.

I'm pretty sure it's illegal in Canada.

VERY illegal in USA!! Copied directly from FCC's website: Illegal to Operate Jammers in the U.S. Unless you are an authorized federal government user, you may not operate a jammer in the U.S., even on private property. This means that it is illegal to use a jammer on mass transit (e.g., train, bus) or in a residence, vehicle, school, theater, restaurant or in any other public or private place. Go to Police Immediately! :)

I think signal scramblers are illegal so you could call the cops or threaten to sue them
