New Build Broadband

Hello Folks,

Hope all have had a great weekend.

Moving into a new build on the 30th of June, need Broadband for work, however i realise there will be some time without.

When should I contact a supplier to get the ball in motion, is it something I can do now?

    Are you talking about getting a provider to the house? With mine, I booked mine for the first day available after completion date - so we got the keys on the 28th and then on 2nd May had BT and Sky come around to install TV/Phone Line and Broadband

    Is your completion date absolutely set in concrete?

    Can you fill any gap using mobile data, perhaps with a mifi-type device?

    You'd be surprised how little a pain a mifi + PAYG 3-or-whoever SIM is. Your laptop/phone/tab just see it as another wifi router.
