I live in the apartment with the mystery light switch that kills WiFi. I've done some home lab radio nerdery with a software defined radio and determined that there is something in the wall about at ceiling level directly above the lightswitch that emits a very strong 2.4 GHz signal. Like, so strong that I should call Industry Canada instead of the landlord.
I've been here six months and the walls and ceiling are now bleeding brown ooze.
Having said that, all of these places (other than the shack with the sketchy wiring which I was just visiting a family member in), including this apartment which I've dubbed The Radio Zone, have been considered luxury rentals. It's fucked up that like even higher end stuff is like this. There are a handful of buildings in Toronto that I almost refuse to even visit friends at because they have such a sketchy rep, like the ICE Condo building which has false fire alarms going off all the time, and it's become just a hellscape of AirBNB morons.
You’re right, I do hate that
Me too.
Gotta say I’m glad you’re not there anymore. Hopefully wherever you are now is less of a nightmare than any of these places.
