There are countless moving checklists available on the Internet, and they usually have the same core to-do’s:
Here's what almost none of those lists include: a single note about your Internet.
Not "what does the ISP website say is available", because ISP websites are famously optimistic about coverage. What is actually serviceable at that specific address, right now, for a real person who will need to work from it on a Tuesday morning?
Fiber availability is expanding, but it's not everywhere. If you're moving to a Ting market, you can check your specific address at ting.com
Spoiler: usually yes.
At Ting, getting service to an address that's never been connected before requires an outside installation, and that takes time. During peak moving season, it can take longer. The good news is that if you schedule in advance, Ting can prep the outside connection before you move in, so installation can happen faster once you arrive.
Most people don't know this. Most people find out about it the hard way, on a Monday morning, when their 9am standup is in twenty minutes and the router is blinking the wrong color. Ask before you move. Schedule before you move. This is the most actionable thing in this entire article.
Working from home means your Internet isn't just infrastructure. It's the office. It's the commute you no longer have, which means it's also the time you got back. It's the thing that makes it possible to live somewhere you actually want to live and still do the job you want to do.
That's personal. And it's worth treating like the serious thing it is before you're standing in a half-unpacked apartment with a work call in ten minutes and a blinking router.
