Moving to a new home is exciting, but there's a lot to organise. Whether you're buying a new build or moving into an existing property, sorting your broadband early will help you settle in faster and get online from day one. 
 

Your new property may be Powered by the Openreach network, giving you access to the biggest choice of broadband providers and the most trusted high-quality service in the UK.
 

Start planning early. As soon as you know your completion date, think about your telephone and  broadband provider – you will either need to order a new service or take over an existing line.

Your moving home checklist

1. Check your current contract

If you're under contract, contact your current broadband provider to discuss moving your service to your new home. Ask about fees, upgrade options, and what to expect if you're moving between different broadband technologies - particularly if you're moving from a Full Fibre area to a Fibre to the Cabinet area, or vice versa, as this may affect your speeds and setup.
 

If you're out of contract, you're free to choose any provider at your new address - a great opportunity to upgrade.

2. Choose your provider

The Openreach network gives you the biggest choice of providers in the UK. Compare speeds, features and costs to find what works for you.

Switching from another network? Some providers offer contract buyouts to help with your transition.
 

When to order: Most providers need the connection to be ready before accepting orders. Check with your chosen provider about timing.
