First, let’s walk through the steps to transfer your internet service if you’re moving to a new home.
Move or transfer your AT&T Internet service
If you’re an AT&T Internet customer and you would like to transfer your home internet service to a new address, you should call 800.288.2020. Keep in mind some of these things:
