Indeed it could be - but the #1 suspect is likely to be the RF 
transmitted from the phones. I understand that this used to be 2 or 3 
watts, but that these days it is 0.6watts. Mind you, my 50W on the 
3.5MHz amateur radio band used to kill my modem/router connection. The 
usual ferrite ring chokes etc had no effect. I eventually cured the 
problem by re-routing the phone line.
