Cost Of Living Crisis - High Prices & Inflation
Rocketing inflation, ever increasing prices and shortages of computer
components all make this a difficult time,
especially if you need to purchase a new computer. I am happy to advise
- there are many options for keeping
the costs down.
Here are some key points to consider:
1) How much will it cost to buy a new computer / laptop that will suit
your requirements?
2) Would repairing / upgrading your existing computer / laptop be cheaper
than buying a new one?
3) Are there cheaper computing devices such as tablet computers / chromebooks
that might suit you?
4) Do you need broadband to provide you with internet at home - are there
cheaper options such as 4g/5g?
5) Do you need a newer computer so you can upgrade to Windows 11? Windows
10 will be supported until 2025.
Some Forthcoming Changes To Prepare For:.
The 3G Switch Off! Older Mobile Phones Will No Longer Work
Starting later this year with Vodafone, companies will start switching
off their 3G services. If you use an older
style mobile phone, you need to check whether it will continue to work,
or if you need to replace it.
The Deactivation Of Fixed Landline Phone Lines - 2025.
After that, everyone will need a broadband connection in order to have
the new digital phone line. This will
be more of a problem in rural areas like this because these new phones
will not work during a power outage..
These are the types of issues that I may be able to help you with. Please

these or other issues.
