4. Tell your service provider at your current address that you are moving home. If you are continuing your service with them, they can assist with the disconnection process and help set your internet up in your new home. ?
5. Leave the nbn? supplied equipment at your old premises. ?

nbn helps deliver essential broadband access to more than 8.4 million premises in Australia. Much like you ring ahead to ensure your electricity and water are running in time for when you move in, we encourage customers to do the same for their internet.?

nbn? Consumer Experience Expert, Jane McNamara says “Customers can check if the nbn? network is available at the property on nbn’s website, or by contacting their chosen internet provider.” ?

“The things to consider when choosing your internet plan could depend on how many devices you need to connect at the same time, and the types of services you want to connect to. An internet provider can help make recommendations on which plan would suit a customer’s needs and ways to optimise their set up. ?

“Internet retailers can help with disconnecting their previous service at their former home, and assist with getting them connected to an internet service at their new place.” ?

^Your experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn? network, depends on the nbn? access network technology and configuration over which services are delivered to your premises, whether you are using the internet during the busy period, and some factors outside nbn’s control (like your equipment quality, software, broadband plan, signal reception and how your service provider designs its network). Speeds may also be impacted by the number of concurrent users on the nbn? Fixed Wireless network, including during busy periods. Satellite end customers may also experience latency.?
