How to transfer your AT&T Internet when you move

Moving is stressful enough; sorting out your internet should not add to it. Here's exactly what you need to do to transfer your AT&T service to a new address.

Check availability at your new address.

The first step is confirming which AT&T services are available where you’re moving. Your new address may qualify for:

  • AT&T Fiber
  • AT&T Internet Air
  • Standard AT&T Internet plans

Check availability to help determine whether your current plan can transfer directly or if another option is a better fit.

Choose to transfer or upgrade.

If your current internet plan is available at your new address, you can usually transfer AT&T Internet service without changing your monthly service structure.

If your new address offers faster speeds, your move can also be the perfect opportunity to upgrade. Many customers use their AT&T transfer service request to switch to fiber or move to a higher speed tier with minimal hassle.

This makes AT&T moving service flexible for both simple transfers and service upgrades.

Find out about installation.

Your setup requirements will depend on your new address and service type.

In many cases, self-installation is available. AT&T ships your equipment directly to the new address so you can set up service on your schedule.

If technician installation is required—often for fiber activation—you can schedule an appointment that aligns with your moving timeline.

Schedule your disconnect and install date.

AT&T coordinates the timing of disconnecting service at your current address and activating service at your new one.

This minimizes downtime and helps ensure your AT&T moving internet setup is ready when you need it. Schedule early to get the most flexibility for installation windows and activation dates.

What if AT&T Fiber isn't available at my new address?

If your new home doesn’t currently qualify for fiber, you still have options through AT&T moving service. For customers navigating AT&T fiber moving, AT&T Internet Air offers a reliable alternative powered by the AT&T 5G network.

AT&T Internet Air provides dependable home internet without requiring cable lines or technician installation. Setup is fast, simple, and ideal for households that need quick connectivity after moving. You can still keep your AT&T moving internet service active and remain eligible for qualifying bundle savings if you also have wireless service. It’s an easy way to stay connected while waiting for fiber expansion in your area.
