Summary
To make the changeover to a new internet service provider (ISP) easier, check the fine print on all contracts to understand notice periods and early termination fees, set a reasonable timeline and provide all necessary information to both current and new ISPs, and have contingency plans in place in case the process takes too long.
Clear timelines help to keep the process moving, with all the relevant information provided to both old and new ISPs to prevent delays.
Contingency plans could include a mobile phone with a large data allowance as a hotspot, money set aside in case extra mobile data is needed, or alternative places to work such as a library or coworking space.
The article also suggests setting reminders to ensure that you switch over to the new ISP at the agreed time and to cancel any services with the old ISP that are no longer required.
