Unexpected moving fees are the last thing you want while you’re settling into your new home, especially for something as crucial as the internet.

Is my internet service still active at my new location?
When I move, do I have to pay an early termination fee?
Is it necessary for me to bring my previous internet equipment with me?

Depending on your internet provider, you may be charged various relocation fees—or none at all. When it comes to transfer expenses, internet companies don’t have a typical lump sum cost. You can avoid early termination costs on your internet contract if you stay with the same internet provider when you relocate.
Spectrum charges a $9.99 transfer fee.
Professional installation price of up to $99 with Verizon Fios.
Professional installation price of up to $89.99 with Xfinity.
AT&T charges a $49.00 activation fee.
There appears to be no charge from CenturyLink.
Cox charges a fee for professional installation.
Mediacom charges a $49.00 transfer fee and a $99.99 professional installation cost.
Your internet contract will determine whether or not you must pay an early termination charge when you move. Unfortunately, simply quitting your internet provider’s network will not prevent you from being charged an early termination fee.
