Strange phenomena !!!

I was watching Sky Satellite TV around 21-15 when suddenly I lost picture
and sound,  just getting white noise.  At the time the loss of signal
occurred there was a dull thud in the distance and the lights all dimmed for
an instant.  Everything else seemed OK immediately afterwards but still just
white noise on SKY.  The only button on the remote that seems to work OK is
the On/Off one.   I cannot access anything , channels,  services etc.   I
suspected a short mains power interruption so came up to the computer to
check the router log.   Ah!  New log started at around 21-18 and my synch
rate is higher than it's ever been at 7200 kbps. (It was 6816 kbps earlier
and in all the time I've been with Plusnet I've never had a value higher
than 7016 kbps.)

"Test Results:
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
Your DSL connection rate: 7200 kbps(DOWN-STREAM),  448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP profile for your line is - 6000 kbps
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 5417 kbps "

Now the loss of the day's earlier router log confirms that there was a power
outage,  but why should it have upped the synch rate and decimated my Sat
TV?  Usually around this time of night,  if I reboot the router I'm lucky if
it will connect at more than 6464 kbps.

Looks like I won't be watching any more Satellite TV for a few days.   :(
