How to Switch Internet Providers Without Downtime

Switching providers sounds risky, but with a little timing you can avoid any gap in service. Here's the playbook.

Overlap your service

Schedule your new install before canceling the old plan so the two overlap by a few days.

Return equipment on time

Return leased modems and routers promptly to avoid unreturned-equipment fees.

Confirm the final bill

Watch for early-termination fees and prorated charges on your last statement.
