Christmas shoppers looking to grab an online bargain on Boxing Day could cause problems on the internet, it has been claimed.
Computers and games consoles are great gifts to give at Christmas but those who receive such items such make sure their
home insurance policy covers them against any damage.
Edd Dawson, managing director of broadband.co.uk, said that those searching for sales bargains and people watching TV shows online could cause ISPs to struggle with internet traffic.
Mr Dawson commented that the BBC was offering the best programming over the festive period, which could see its iPlayer service grow in popularity.
Making sure your computer is insured could help shoulder the financial cost of fixing a machine.
"In these credit crunch times we might also see heavy demand from people searching for the best bargains in the Boxing Day sales," he said.
A
computer insurance policy from
InsureandGo could help users get back online quickly and at low cost to them, should any damage to a system occur.
