Home WiFi runs on either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz frequencies, similar to the frequencies emitted by microwaves and other home devices.
With the roll out of the new 5G Data network this is only a name like 2G/3G and 4G and is nothing to do with the frequencies used.
There is a lot of misinformation about and companies like BT, Virgin and EE are not helping with adverts stating super-fast Wifi on 5G
With this in mind be aware retailers are also using incorrect or misleading 5G statements when they are merely referring to the WiFi frequency.

Three have started rolling out 5G routers that are plug and go, they use a mobile 5G SIM card which means you are connected within minutes.
No onsite engineer, which means no installation fees!
No cables or connection charges. It is completely portable, so it goes where ever you go.
Cable free, which means when you move, it moves with you, no reconnection charges.

Three have 5G routers on a 12 or an optional 24 month contract, but is still cheaper than the hard wired fibre cable alternatives.
The best part is you can choose to go it alone without being tied to a 12 month contract.
Let's face the retail price index reality, contracts will go up every April, even mid contract, so in a few years you could be paying double again.
So how do you cut the internet prices even further and cut out the retail price index rises altogether?

Simply buy yourself a 5G data router (yes they are a little pricey, at the moment)
Double check the product descriptions making sure you do actually get a 5G router and not a 5Ghz WiFi router.
However they pay for themselves in just under 12 months.
You then buy yourself a pay as you go SIM card from Smarty - unlimited data plans start at £18 a month
Use this link https://i.smarty.co.uk/DrhNZyx
Cut your broadband costs in half literally over night.

See for yourself in the below screen capture, even the ping/latency is adequate for gaming!

You will not get those speeds on Virgin or even BT's fibre network.
5G it's the future, cable is history!

Online payments are changing: are you future-proof?
Ready or not, new industry standards came into effect in 2019 – and the sooner all businesses get on board, the more you can benefit. 
New requirements introduced by the second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) mean you as a customer will be asked for more information when you buy online, this helps reduce fraud with new higher security standards.

We have CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS and NOW we have Click to Pay!

No passwords and a smarter checkout experience.
A more secure way to pay online which makes passwords a thing of the past.

What is Click to Pay?
An advanced payment technology built on industry standards, a password-free experience that is more secure. Look for the Click to Pay icon at the online checkout.
You register with your existing bank the cards you want to use, with your email or mobile number. Next time you shop online a secure one time passcode is sent during checkout to authorised the transaction without the need to remember card details or passwords. 

Whether you buy online thru mobile or PC, very often the auto fill card feature will miss the expiry date or fail to even fill in the card number. Click to Pay puts and end to troublesome checkout experiences and paves the way for a faster more secure payment method.]]>

Breadcrumbs refer to a navigational aid used in website design to help users understand where they are within the site's hierarchy. It is a series of links that show the path a user has taken to reach their current page. Breadcrumbs can also improve website navigation and user experience, as well as help search engines understand the site structure and index the pages more accurately. Formats for breadcrumbs can vary, but they typically appear at the top of a page and display links to higher-level pages.]]>

Pseudo elements are used in CSS to add stylized content to a webpage. They allow designers to add specific styles to only certain parts of an element, such as the first letter of a paragraph or the background of a selected text block. Pseudo elements are created using double colons and target specific parts of an element through selectors used in the CSS code. This feature enhances the usability of a webpage and gives developers more flexibility and control over the appearance of their designs.]]>

There are several significant disadvantages associated with a variety of modern technologies.
Firstly, constant use of technology can be detrimental to physical and mental health, leading to eye strain, sleep disruption and addiction.
Secondly, technology can contribute to social isolation and a decrease in face-to-face communication.
Thirdly, reliance on technology can lead to a lack of critical thinking skills, as people become accustomed to finding answers quickly through search engines rather than problem-solving independently.
Finally, the use of technology can also result in data breaches and privacy concerns.]]>

The biggest difference between devices that are WiFi ready and those that have WiFi built-in is the presence of the actual WiFi hardware.
A pointless phrase that merely only reenforces the fact manufactures are up-selling products for capital gains.

Altho WiFi ready means that the device is able to use WiFi but all it has is a slot where the WiFi card goes.
If you truly want WiFi functionality, you need to purchase a separate WiFi card.
On the other hand WiFi built-in means just that, the hardware needed is already built into the device.

The same can be said for those devices that are HD-ready, 4K-ready, Internet-ready, or anything ready... do not confuse with 'ever ready'
These devices do not have the actual hardware to be completely capable or even performing the function.
They only have the software capability, which is pretty useless without the hardware.
Yet some Televisions have that added capability of being able to upscale to HD or 4K, the phrase HD-ready and 4K-ready actually has some merit.
However not all channels broadcast in those mediums, so potential it is a wasted technology, alternatively not everyone can afford the SKY HD package?

Just like the wide screen and 3D televisions, these were heavily promoted as being the next big thing and again pointless hype for the mass FOMO market.
The fear of missing out, but the actual broadcasting technology never arrived.]]> THIS DEVICE IS NOT READY!
