Washing causes problems with Bluewin TV

 In an interview, Swisscom CEO Carsten Schloter acknowledges the numerous problems with Bluewin TV, his company's digital television service. A quarter of customers are still experiencing technical problems, he told the French-speaking Swiss newspaper Le Temps. It even happens that the television picture is impaired when the washing machine is in use at the same time. According to Schloter, the problem is due to the inadequate quality of the Internet cable. From now on, Swisscom will only accept customers for whom the service works perfectly.
The telecommunications group wants to connect the network with that of its Italian subsidiary Fastweb, which specializes in digital television. As Schloter said, this will enable cost savings of CHF 300 million.
