  • The owner of a bar in Hove, England got sick of customers not talking to one another, so he built a ‘Faraday Cage’ around it to block Wi-Fi signals!
  • Steve Tyler, owner of the Gin Tub bar, says he used silver foils and copper mesh in the walls to make it difficult for patrons to get a signal.
