Virgin Media has issued some advice to customers about how to get faster internet speeds over the busy Christmas period.
The festive season is often a time when there are plenty new consoles and gadgets in your home, which can wreak havoc on your WiFi speed and signal.

The Express reports that the worst of these is the microwave, which may greatly slow down your WiFi while it's being used.
