If you\u2019re <\/span>moving house<\/span><\/a> and rely on your internet connection for fun, information, or business, you\u2019ll want to reduce the amount of time you are without it.<\/span><\/p>\n

But knowing that it must first be disconnected from your current home and that often, a technician needs to visit your new home to get things up and running again, can cause <\/span>internet downtime<\/span><\/a> and frustration.<\/span><\/p>\n

To keep the stress levels low, consider these basic but important tips for minimising internet interruption when moving.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lock down a moving date in advance<\/h2>\n

The date you plan to move is the first step because everything else revolves around it, especially when it comes to disconnecting and reconnecting your internet service.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a firm date selected, you\u2019ll then have the time to make arrangements and set up a reconnection date with your current provider, or in some cases depending on where you are moving, contacting a new service provider.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that your chosen provider may have a backlog of customers, which means the time it takes to have internet installed at your new home could take longer than expected. The sooner you lock in the moving date, the sooner you\u2019ll be able to put plans with your provider into motion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check your new address for\u00a0nbn\u2122 compatibility<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t make the mistake of assuming that your new address will already be connected to the nbn\u2122. The easiest way to find out if your new address is nbn\u2122 compatible is by <\/span>checking your address here<\/span><\/a>. Knowing whether or not you need an <\/span>nbn\u2122 connection<\/span><\/a> will speed up the process and reduce downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pick a provider (or notify your current provider)<\/h2>\n

Once you determine if your new <\/span>address is nbn\u2122 compatible<\/span><\/a>, contact your provider of choice and let them know you are moving, the address of the new home, and the date the move will take place. If you\u2019re working with a new provider, you\u2019ll need time to set up an account, <\/span>pick a service plan<\/span><\/a>, and take care of any payments or fees. If you\u2019re renting here are the best <\/span>plans for renters<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you decide to stay with your current provider, contact the company to let them know of the move so they can schedule a disconnect\/transfer process of your service. When speaking with a customer representative, let them know if the service you currently have will be the same at the new home or take the opportunity to change plans or add additional services. You will also want to find out if there are any disconnect, transfer, or reconnection fees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Organise a connection time<\/h2>\n

Once you determine if your new <\/span>address is nbn\u2122 compatible<\/span><\/a>, contact your provider of choice and let them know you are moving, the address of the new home, and the date the move will take place. If you\u2019re working with a new provider, you\u2019ll need time to set up an account, <\/span>pick a service plan<\/span><\/a>, and take care of any payments or fees. If you\u2019re renting here are the best <\/span>plans for renters<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you decide to stay with your current provider, contact the company to let them know of the move so they can schedule a disconnect\/transfer process of your service. When speaking with a customer representative, let them know if the service you currently have will be the same at the new home or take the opportunity to change plans or add additional services. You will also want to find out if there are any disconnect, transfer, or reconnection fees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrap<\/strong><\/p>\n

With an estimated 88 per cent of Australians using the internet and multiple internet providers for them to choose from, following these simple steps can save time, energy, and aggravation when moving home so you get your service connected in a timely manner.<\/span><\/p>\n
