Moving home: plan your fibre connection before moving day

An address-first checklist for a move: new access, existing service, equipment, installation and a practical connection test.

Moving an internet connection is not simply moving the router. The new building may use another access technology, require different equipment or need a separate appointment. A short plan before moving day helps you arrange access without assuming that the old package will transfer unchanged.

Check the new property early

Run an infrastructure enquiry using the exact new address, including the correct block and unit. Record the technology and any questions about port availability. If the property is not listed, ask for an address review. Share when you expect to receive the keys and when internet becomes essential, particularly if you work from home or have scheduled online meetings.

Clarify what happens to the existing service

Tell the provider whether you are an existing customer moving, a new customer or considering a provider change. Ask which process applies, what approvals are needed, and whether the current package, equipment and commercial terms can continue. Agree the order of changes before closing an existing connection. Do not assume that a new application automatically cancels another contract.

Prepare the installation location

Ask which equipment should travel with you and which installed components should remain for the next occupant or provider. Plan a reachable router position with power and, where needed, a wired route to the workspace. Confirm building access and an appointment contact. Avoid disconnecting unfamiliar optical components; ask the installation team to explain the equipment boundary.

Test the things you will actually use

After activation, check a wired device where practical, then test Wi-Fi in the rooms that matter. Try a video call, a file upload and the applications used for work. Record when and where a problem occurs so support can distinguish the access line from an indoor coverage issue. Keep the agreed installation and equipment information alongside the new service details.

PLANNING TAKEAWAY

Confirm the new address, the change process and the installation appointment before relying on the old connection’s package or equipment.

MyFi can assess the new address and explain the applicable process. Transfer feasibility, timing and charges depend on the existing service and the proposed connection.
