The Road To Enlightenment

Come gather round, the Guru has a tale for you. It begins many moons ago. The Guru was sat in his mountain top palace, live streaming his tantric breathing class to his loyal following until he was abruptly met with the dreaded "no internet connection" cutting the stream. This was the third time that week that the hippies, spiritualists and tipsy middle class women had been deprived of his teachings, all due to a clunky internet connection.

It was at that moment that The Guru truly reached enlightenment and moved away from the yoga poses, accelerating his search for inner peace by committing himself to becoming a consumer champion, bringing high-speed and reliable internet to the masses for only the most affordable prices.

In this day and age, it's never been easier or more essential to stay connected to the internet whilst maintaining a connection that's as strong as The Gurus (whilst he's locked in the handstand scorpion yoga pose) is vital.

Whether you need it for working from home, streaming the latest blockbuster shows or losing to small children on your favourite online game, The Guru is here to help find the perfect package for you.

Using his unique skills honed from years of deep meditation, The Guru could potentially save a whopping £228* per year on your broadband costs.

What Type Of Connection Do I Need?

When browsing for different internet connections, there can be some tricky phrases being thrown around for those who are perhaps a little less tech savvy.

Fear not however, for The Guru is here to bless us with his vast wealth of internet related knowledge and break down exactly what connection will help bring you inner peace.

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)

A bit of a mouthful, but the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line or ADSL is the most basic connection available.

These use the same copper wires that are traditionally used to connect land line telephones.

The speed of your broadband with an ADSL set up will be determined by numerous factors such as the location and distance that you are away from the street cabinet exchange being the main one. The further away from the cabinet the slower the speed.

These will typically have a maximum download speed of about 8mbps. This connection speed will allow you to preform basic tasks like web browsing and email answering.

ADSL2 & ADSL2+

The same type of connection as the basic ADSL, but these two offer a more advanced collection.

Like the original, distance from the cabinet exchange will determine how fast or slow the connection will be.

The main difference between these two however is the bandwidth. ADSL2+ uses double the amount and will generally perform better closer to the exchange. Whereas the ADSL2 will be the superior choice if your exchange is further away.

Speeds vary anywhere between 2mpbs and 24mbps. This will again allow for the basic uses of the internet, emails, internet browsing and boring your friends on social media with pictures of your breakfast.

Fibre Broadband

Something you'll probably hear in adverts a lot. Fibre or Fibre Optic broadband uses a combo of fibre optic telephone cables and the traditional copper ones mentioned before, instead of relying solely on copper.

The optic cables are connected from a local telephone exchange to a roadside cabinet allowing for a much faster connection.

Typically these will provide varying connection speed but depending on your location and provider, this can be up to 500mbps. If you use the internet every day and want to do more than just the basics then this one is for you.

If you rely on your internet connection to watch television, then this type of connection is essential. No more buffering when watching whatever next outrageous documentary series is being put out by the streaming platforms.

Mobile Broadband

Requiring no cables at all, mobile broadband is a must have for those who need to take their connection with them some providers this includes taking it abroad.

Coming as either a dongle, USB modem or MiFi, these pieces of hardware can reach speeds of up to 7.2mbps and use mobile phone 3G and 4G networks to keep you connected.

Mobile broadband packages will generally offer a pay as you go option as well allowing for greater flexibility.

What Speed Do I Need?

As briefly discussed above, the higher the speed of the connection, the higher the capabilities. This goes without saying, the faster the speed, the higher the cost. As a result of this, choosing the correct speed in your package is essential.

The Guru, being the money saving master that he is, has drawn up a very brief list to help you pick out what speed suits you. After all, you don't want to be paying for 500mbps if all you want to do is look at pictures of cats online.

Equally if you get below 30 Mbps, that AAA, 4K, brand new video game is going to run with all the speed of a tortoise after downing an entire bottle of Nyquil.

• Below 30Mbps: 1 or 2 users. Basic web browsing capabilities.
• 30 - 60Mbps: 3+ users. Infrequent streaming and online gaming.
• 60 - 100Mbps: 5+ users. Frequent HD streaming, multiple connections.
• 100Mbps+: 8+ users. Multiple simultaneous streaming, large downloads.
