Wireless internet connection - the pros and cons

The way we use broadband internet is changing. Nowadays, with the popularity of image and file sharing websites, it is hard to live with a dial-up internet connection. Even if you live in a remote area, there are ways of getting cheap wireless broadband internet. Many mobile companies offer facilities for you to connect via mobile phones and you can even get broadband via satellite.

The prices of wireless broadband modems are coming down and nowadays you can pick up a decent router for under £50 from most shops. There are some cheap broadband deals which offer a free modem when you sign up for a contract.

But is this all good news? Well, kind of. The main problem with wireless connection compared to a wired broadband network is the security. If you do not set up the security carefully, then other people can easily use your connection. So you need to make sure that the connection is encrypted. It is not as hard as it sounds and most routers and ISP modems come with instructions of how to do this. Your broadband internet provider will also be able to guide you on this if you need any help.

One of the common mistake people do when they go wireless is to buy the cheapest equipment available without doing research. It is always worth reading broadband ISP reviews and guides on wireless equipment before you shell out your cash. Remember, reliability is more important than saving a few pennies on equipment.

Why use discount vouchers or coupons when you buy?

You may have noticed when you check out of online shops, there is a box for a promotion or a voucher code. Most shops and services have them nowadays as competition is getting stiffer and shoppers are getting smarter in finding the best price. Whenever you want to buy something online, it is probably worth checking if you can get some money off the price by using a discount voucher for that shop. So how do you find and these discount voucher codes?

You can find these codes on free stuff sites or internet shopping forums. There are many of these sites online; you just have to search for them. Always make sure you are finding the right site which has the up to date voucher code. After checking the expiry dates try and apply it at the check out to see if you get a new total with the money off. Sometimes some vouchers may not work and you may need to try a different one.

One thing you need to make sure when you put these discount voucher and coupon codes in the check out is to see if there is an "update price" or a similar button so it applies the discount to your purchase.

If you are a regular shopper, you can join one of the established free stuff sites where you can find the latest free samples and freebies. Just make sure you only sign up to the reliable sites and do not go on a sign up spree, as some websites who don’t have a proper privacy policy can bombard you with emails.

Internet Shopping

With the rapid growth of internet shopping continuing, it makes you wonder whether there will be a time when you may never have to leave home to do your shopping. But there are still people who want to go out and buy in the shops, for various reasons. Let us look at the advantages of high street and online shopping here to see which is best for what type of product.

Shopping online is usually cheaper for many products. Online retailers can offer products at a much lower price than high street shops due to the fact that they have lower overheads. On the other hand, some high street shops may have in store offers and clearance deals which you can avail if you visit the shops. You may even be able to get cashback on your online shopping without paying any extra money using a reward shopping website.

With thousands of shops to compare prices online, it can be really time consuming if you try and visit each and every shop. On the other hand, if you use an online price comparison website, you can compare prices in an instant and find the best deal to suit your pocket.

One thing which is in favour of high street shopping is the face to face interaction with a human being. You can always take it back to the shop if something goes wrong. However, reliable online shops have a no quibble exchange policy, so this should not be a major problem.

Hunting for a broadband deal

With so many internet providers entering the market every day, the prices to get a high speed connection are falling. With so many to choose from, how do you decide broadband supplier offers the right package for you?

"Unlimited Broadband" – The sales pitch

Many ISPs advertise "Unlimited Broadband" as their unique selling point. Even these so called "Unlimited" download limits do have fair usage policies (usually not well advertised, like most small print). If you use your broadband internet connection just to browse internet, check emails and do some shopping, you may not need a huge download limit or an cheap unlimited broadband deal for which you have to pay more. One of the common impacts of advertising these days is to make you believe that you need something which in fact, may not be true. So know what download limit you need and do not end up paying over the odds because of seeing a flashy advertisement from an internet service provider.

Compare prices before you buy

Broadband providers keep changing their offers all the time. If you have seen an advertisement somewhere, whether it is TV or media, do not presume that you will get the same offer. Always check the latest prices when you sign up. Better still, read what other peoples experiences are by reading Internet service provider reviews from various review sites.
