People looking to save on electricity bills by turning off their Wi-Fi at night have been warned that it could hamper the reliability of their internet connection. Ofgem has announced an increase in the energy price cap which will come into effect from October, and the average price for electricity is expected to leap from 18p/kWh to 52p p/kWh.
But ahead of another expected surge in January 2023, homeowners are being warned against some cost-cutting measures. In particular, some may be looking to save on the cost of running their broadband router, which will amass to around 13p per day, the Express reports.
While turning off the flashing black box may shave a few pennies from your daily outgoings, it could also seriously hamper your internet connection. Most of the UK's leading Internet Service Providers (ISPs), including Sky and BT recommend leaving their internet equipment switched on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
