Superfast or superslow? A loophole means companies can advertise a speedy service
even if as few as 10 per cent of customers actually get it

You might be paying for superfast internet
- but it doesn't mean you're getting it.

A loophole means companies can advertise a speedy service even if as few as 10
per cent of customers actually get it.

Here are the top five tricks to getting the most out of broadband.

CHECK FOR SPEED

While price is important, there's no point saving
a few pounds just to end up with a connection so slow you can't even download
an email.

Companies regularly advertise speeds of up to 50Mbs or more.
An Mb is a megabit, which is data. Each Mb is a million bits of data sent and received every second, so the higher the number,
the faster your connection.

But research has shown many customers' connection speeds are about a quarter as
fast as those advertised.

You can check your speed on websites such as BroadbandSpeedchecker.

They're simple to use, just type in your postcode and
it will measure your connection at the click of a button.

If you just want to check emails you only need 3Mbs.
But if you want to watch TV online you need 20Mbs.

Using a comparison website is the best place to shop around.
Property website Rightmove will also outline
the top broadband speed in your area, and the companies that
can provide it.

The best broadband deals to get you faster speeds and smaller bills

ASK TONY: Virgin won't cancel internet contract for my sick brother

Millions of Virgin Media customers will see bills jump by an average of 5.9 per
cent from February

Compare broadband and digital deals in minutes using your postcode

TRACK THE NEIGHBOURS

It's not just the provider you choose that dictates internet
speed — how close your home is to a phone exchange, the quality of the
phone line and wiring, and number of people using the same provider locally will all affect it.

At maps.thinkbroadband.com, an interactive map will show you where your nearest telephone exchange is, estimate the best speed
you can get, and tell you whether you can get super-speedy fibre optic broadband.

Punch in your postcode with firms such as uSwitch and you can even see which providers your
neighbours are using, and what speed they're getting.

Around 50 people are thought to use every connection at an exchange so if you can see
that everyone on your street is using one company
for their internet, it might be worth considering using the next best provider to avoid traffic on the internet highway.

GET A LITTLE CLOSER

Although most people will want wireless internet,
your connection will be stronger if you're connected directly to your router
(the box that turns the phone signal into an internet connection).

Keeping the router near the phone will help too.

It sounds simple, but by moving everything closer together the signal doesn't have to travel as far,
and can do so more quickly.

Finally, make sure you protect your connection with a password.
It might be a hassle to remember when you're setting up a
new device, but you don't want neighbours slowing down your speed by piggybacking
free on your internet when you're paying for it. 

SHOP AROUND

Match the speed you want to the price you can afford.

Many of top deals boast unlimited downloads, but very few households will actually use enough data
to need such a package, so don't be suckered in by what seems like a
good deal.

It's not just speed that is important, but how much data you can download.

This is measured in gigabytes — a standard film takes about 1.5Gb, an HD
film 3Gb. 

But some firms have policies which place a cap on the so-called unlimited data,
so check. If you mostly use the internet for shopping, email and social media you won't need much data at all.

Even if you watch just a couple of programmes online each week, you can probably get
away with a basic 10Gb-a-month package.

If you have teenagers who play video games online frequently and watch endless films through Netflix, you'll want to look at bigger packages, and
super-fast fibre optic broadband if it is available in your area.

Some providers might slow down your connection at peak times, so think about when you
log on to the internet, too.

If you work from home during the day it won't affect you.
But if you only use the net to watch TV between 7pm and 10pm
you might feel frustrated if your provider brings so-called traffic management into play.

HAVE ONE SUPPLIER

Getting your TV, phone, and broadband from one supplier could lead to a cheaper deal.

uSwitch estimates this can save up to £200 a year.

The best broadband-only deal from Plusnet is about £15 a month,
BT line rental is on top.

But if you get your home phone line from Plusnet too, you pay £15.95
for phone and just £2.50 for internet — or £18.45 a month.

A TV, broadband and phone package from TalkTalk costs about
£21 monthly for the first year if you sign an 18-month contract.
After the first year the bill increases by about £5 a month.

BT has a TV, phone and internet deal for about £28 a month on an 18-month deal.

TV and broadband are free for six months, then £15 a month,
line rental is £16.99.

But there are set-up costs and you have to pay for the router,
all of which will cost another £57.

I've read a few just right stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting.
I surprise how so much effort you set to create such a wonderful informative site.

I don't know if it's just me or if everyone else experiencing
issues with your blog. It seems like some of the
written text in your content are running off the screen. Can someone else
please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This may be a problem with my internet browser because I've had this happen before.

Wow! At last I got a blog from where I know how to actually get valuable
data concerning my study and knowledge.

Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to

The iconic image of gamer is a teen in his bedroom.

However, new research has found that in fact, it's far more likely to
be their parents, or even grandparents, blowing up aliens
or solving puzzles.

Researchers found the average US gamers is in fact now aged 43,
married with children, and taking home $36k a year - while the over-70s
are the group most likely to have more than ten downloaded to their phone.

GAMING IN FIGURES 

Texting (78 per cent), calls (67 per cent) and taking photos (32 per cent) emerged as the top uses for cells, but
playing games (30 per cent) beat social media (27 per
cent), email (23 per cent) and listening to music (13 per cent).

Most people (34 per cent) play seven days a week, with puzzle-solving the
most popular genre, followed by action, social, quiz and sports.

The bedroom is the most popular location for mobile gaming (68 per cent), ahead of the
bathroom (53 per cent) and the workplace (39 per cent). 

The poll of 1,000 US mobile gamers by GuruArcade.com also found what phones are being used for.

Three in ten have played in a restaurant, one in five admitted to gaming while dining with the
family or on the commute to work, and one in ten has
switched their attention from the big screen to their cell screen at a
movie theater.

The average player has four games on their mobile phone and will spend a little
over a half an hour a day, four days a week, trying to improve their highest score on their favorite
gaming app.

One in seven spends over ten hours each week with their eyes glued
to their phones playing a game.

It also emerged that casual gamers typically download two new
gaming apps on their device each month.

Sam Cross of Guru Arcade, makers of mobile game Pop Rocket Rescue, said:
'You can play a mobile game anytime, anywhere, since smartphones are so portable.

Forty-one percent of people have played a mobile game for up to three hours
in one sitting.

2. Angry Birds

3. Words with Friends

10. Draw Something 

'Mobile games are designed to be played in small chunks
of time, while waiting or taking a break. It's bite-sized fun.'

The average person is most likely to play a mobile game between 1pm and 2pm, although one in five plays 'any time'
of the day and one in eight prefers to play between the hours of 9pm
and midnight.

Forty-one percent have played a mobile game for up to three hours in one sitting.

Eighty-one percent can't resist the fun these games provide and 42 percent play because it's exercise
for the brain - but their fun can sometimes mean 'game over' in a different sense.

From getting fired from work, to arriving late or completely
missing an event, 27 per cent confess that their mobile game playing has gotten them into trouble. 

In the UK, an Ofcom study recently found 16 per cent of adults now exclusively
use smartphones or tablets to go online, a 10 per cent increase on last year.

AMERICA'S INTERNET ADDICTION 

One-fifth of all Americans reported to being on the internet
'almost constantly', with young adults making up the largest percentage of this category.

The majority of Americans - 73 per cent - indicated
that they go online on a daily basis, and many go on several times
per day.

A Pew Research Center survey collected data from internet
users between June and July 2015, and confirmed that Americans are
constantly logging in.

Young people are the most connected; the study found
that 36 per cent of people ages 18 to 29 are online almost constantly, and 50 per cent
go on several times per day.

Teens and adults were found to share similar internet habits, with 24 percent of teenagers reporting almost constant use,
and adults coming in at a similar figure.  

The study also found half of adults (51 per cent) who use search engines do not realise the
top items on many results pages are adverts or
sponsored links. 

The figures are from Ofcom's Adults' Media Use
And Attitudes Report. 

'This indicates these devices are not just supplementing PCs and laptops, but are starting to replace them,' the regulator said.

'There is a need for people to be more aware or savvy about the content they are accessing online'.
