The story does seem suspicious to me. He said he encountered 98% packet loss when pinging websites, but that means he has sent at least 50 pings. Default ping only does 5. Even if you increase the count, after 20 lost packages wouldn't you have decided the connection isn't up?
Also this story is about problems with the connection of their house, not the wi-fi. I find it hard to believe that a networking engineer and his son that's also an engineer use the incorrect term?
