Internet for an apartment takes a bit of planning. See Section 3 for the full guide. Here is the housing-specific checklist.
BEFORE YOU MOVE IN
• Check whether the building has fiber and which providers serve it.
• Ask the landlord if the apartment is already wired.
• Ask whether the landlord allows installation and drilling.
STEPS
• Pick a provider and sign up for a plan.
• Book the technician for your move-in date, because appointments can take a week or more.
• Be home during the window.
• Keep the router's login details.
TIPS
• If you are sharing, agree upfront on who signs the contract and who pays.
• Ask whether the provider can transfer the service when you move out.
• Set a calendar reminder for the end of any promotion period, so you can renegotiate.
WATCH OUT FOR
Be clear about who is responsible for returning rented equipment at the end of the lease.
