Moving house - phone and broadband connection

[Adam]

In my role of Executive Director of Entertainment within my household, I'm beginning to look at my options for getting the phone and broadband up and running as soon following my completion date.

Does anyone have any practical tips with regards to how to get this up and running as efficiently as possible? I understand the standard time period is around 2 weeks, but can I save any time by taking over the line rather than the current vendor cancelling altogether and me having to place a new order?

Not that it matters but I'd probably be going for Plusnet fibre, it's quite important we get the internet up and running as soon as possible as we both rely on it heavily for work.

I believe when you exchange that's when you agree upon a date which is then typically 2 weeks until completion. As contracts have been exchanged it's a legally binding contract so very costly if someone pulls out. That's when you begin organizing these things but I'm unsure of the best way to actually go about it.
