Ease the STRAIN

Swish Fibre o er up four digital tips to make Christmas that little bit easier

It’s the most wonderful time of the year... but it can be challenging. Christmas seems to get more complicated and stressful every year, so we have laid out a few digital tricks to help your day run a little smoother.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DEALS

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two of the biggest shopping events of the year. People generally fall into two camps when it comes to these discountcrazy days – they either love scanning their favourite shops for deals, or hate the days and everything about them.

The end of November might seem a bit early to be buying Christmas presents, but for the forward-thinkers it’s a great time to snap up discounted presents for the family. Just make sure you can keep them hidden for a month! Speaking of which...

OPEN SOME PRESENTS EARLY

We are not suggesting you tear through the wrapping paper and ruin the fun of Christmas morning, but some gifts can benefi t from a bit of advanced planning. Have you bought a new laptop for your mum? Or maybe a PlayStation is sitting under the tree, waiting for the kids.

This kind of tech takes a while to set up, so rather than dealing with the little ones moaning all morning while the right games download, or struggling to cook Christmas dinner while simultaneously helping set up the new laptop, open them a few days early and do the set ups. You’ll thank us when you’re enjoying a relaxed Christmas morning in peace.

CALLING DISTANT RELATIVES? SCHEDULE A ZOOM

There’s no getting away from it, 25 December is a busy day. What should be a day of relaxation is usually packed with cooking, tidying up wrapping paper, watching Christmas TV and... maybe a little bit of champagne. It's the same for almost everyone, and it can seriously mess up those happy yuletide phone calls – especially if you’re calling someone who lives in a di erent time zone.

It might sound neurotic, but getting a schedule sorted in advance can make things much easier. Drop people a text or email a few days earlier letting them know you’re going to call them at a certain time to make sure you can actually get hold of them.

UPGRADE YOUR INTERNET

There’s no better time to see just how much your home would benefi t from lightning-fast fi bre broadband than the festive season. Worried about bu ering during your Christmas fi lms binge or the internet slowing down when all the relatives join your Wi-Fi network? You can avoid it all by upgrading to Full Fibre broadband from Swish.

Swish's 10,000Mbps-capable broadband (*speed test taken on 28 May 2021. See SwishFibre.com for full details) is the fastest available in the UK – and to help you through the Christmas period, you can get the fi rst six months for free when you take out an 18 month contract.
