<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I doubt it was introduced via an actual
piece of coax/twisted-pair (dsl) or ethernet anyways, probably
more a surge in the power lines themselves, and some devices
reacted more adversely than others. Could have just been akin to
an electromagnetic pulse being released as well, or striking a
transformer much the same tends to wreak havoc on things not
particularly shielded to EMI.<br>

Did you have some sort of surge suppression on your systems? Mind
you, most are likely "surge suppressor" in marketing, I doubt much
of the cheap chinese crap they produce these days do little to
suppress anything if actually tested, why I tend to just use a
decent ups on gaggles of technology around my house. Cheap enough
to buy used (craigslist, ebay), and refurb yourself with new
batteries if you can operate a screwdriver.<br>
