We all know that moving house doesn't always go to plan. In fact, sometimes it can go drastically off plan, and the move might not even happen at all (for example if your exchange or completion is delayed or your home purchase falls through).

For many of us broadband is a utility as important as gas and electricity, so when you move home the question of transferring the service is a big one. Ideally you want to know that broadband will be setup the day you move into a new place, or at least avoid being left without access for weeks on end.
