# Moving house: transfer or cancel the internet?

> Check service at the new premises before comparing transfer and cancellation.

Keep the old account and the new installation question together so the handover date and any overlap can be planned.

## What should the existing provider check first?

Request availability for the actual new premises and a transfer appointment.

An online address result or an unanswered inquiry leaves the position unresolved. Keep the provider’s response and the product it says it can offer.

## What if service cannot be provided after the move?

The checked consumer criteria include a service-unavailable move confirmed by the provider.

Ask which evidence and provision apply to the request. A preference for another provider or a building-management issue needs its own factual review rather than an automatic exemption label.

## What if the available product has a different speed?

Keep the offered product specification separate from a measured line-speed complaint.

The consumer criteria contain a separate relocation-product-speed provision. Obtain the old and new product descriptions and the provider’s interpretation before comparing charges.

## Which records complete an internet move?

Keep the transfer or cancellation confirmation, equipment arrangements and final billing dates.

A public residence-registration procedure and an internet transfer are separate processes. Foreign residents should check their applicable immigration-address procedure rather than treating a resident-registration instruction as their own filing rule.

### Can I cancel before checking the new premises?

First obtain the availability and transfer information needed to compare the options.

### Does an unknown availability result mean no service?

Keep it unresolved until the provider checks the premises.

### Does any move waive all charges?

Review the specific provision, evidence and separate charges with the provider.

### Is a lower product tier a failed speed test?

Compare the offered product specification separately from measured service quality.

### Is address registration also an internet application?

Complete each applicable public filing and provider transfer process separately.
