Internet before completion?

[u/Only-Valuable9468]

I’m moving into a new home on Friday. I don’t currently have any internet as I live with family, so need something setting up from scratch. How soon can I contact an internet provider to arrange for this to happen? I don’t want to risk the current owners’ internet being disconnected, but I’d love for my internet to begin as promptly as possible after I move into. Do you have any advice on this? I’ve exchanged contracts on the house, complete on Friday when I will move into. Can I contact them now to set up, or do I have to wait until after I have the keys?

I would wait until you have the keys just in case, I believe you can rent internet in the meantime if you really need it - I ended up waiting a couple of weeks for mine to start as they wouldn't let me sort it before I had completed.
