An XL weekend for Fiestas Patrias is what Chileans are going to experience during these celebrations. The vaccination process has allowed for fewer health barriers and there will probably be more gatherings and celebrations that were not seen since 2019. According to estimates by the Undersecretary of Tourism and Sernatur, 1.7 million trips are expected to be made during these holidays throughout the country.
And even if it is to the beach, a campsite or the mountains, traveling does not imply disconnecting completely, as it is necessary to have technology when visiting other destinations. How to get to places using maps, playing music to dance cueca, asking for more charcoal for delivery and, of course, sharing experiences and asados dieciocheros on social networks, have become an essential part of the celebrations.
For this experience to be really good, it must be taken into consideration that, due to its geography, not all cities in Chile have the same network capacity, so if many people use the same antenna, its response may decrease when trying to cover all the demand. For this reason, and in order to have a better navigation, we provide some tips and recommendations to enjoy this holiday season with all the advantages that technology offers:
Plan your destinations in advance and consider the digital needs of each member of the trip.
Download the videos, music or maps you are going to use before leaving and, ideally, connected to a fixed network. This way, you will avoid running out of music along the way or in the middle of an episode of your favorite series.
Diversify downloads on different devices: it is not necessary to occupy the storage of a single computer. If you have a tablet for your children, download all their cartoons and games there, and on your computer the movies and series for you.
Although the temptation will be great, do not connect to public Wi-Fi networks to access sites with sensitive information, such as banks. Remember that having great connectivity also implies great responsibility.
Close apps you are not using and set your devices to use data only when they are open or you are connected to a Wi-Fi network. It is important to consider that many apps, even if they are in the background, still use mobile data.
In cases where there are many people and you see that your images, videos or even your WhatsApp messages are not being sent, prefer the use of instant messaging or SMS rather than voice calls or chat, which require mobile data like WhatsApp or other applications of the same style.
Reduce the number of devices you have connected to the network at the same time, trying to use only one, cell phone or computer, for example.
