I have this problem.  :-)

But you're right, most people don't seem to comprehend this, and are
quick to blame wi-fi instead (even though, like you, there is no wi-fi in
my house).

The problem for me is the signal ON THE CABLE (cable coax from the
street to the modem), so the solution was to make sure that I keep my
distance from the cable.  For me, that meant putting the cable and the
modem in another room and then using long Ethernet cables to get to
the computer (since the Ethernet cables don't bother me).  Also
at the outside splitter, disconnecting the cables to all outlets that
aren't being used.  And to top it off, I added an attenuator at the
splitter to reduce the level of the signals in the wires.
