ISP Setup New Office Premises

Internet connectivity is the foundation of your new office IT. Cloudswitched manages ISP selection, line installation and router configuration so you are online from day one.

Provider Selection

We assess available ISPs at your new address and recommend the best option for your bandwidth, budget and reliability requirements.

Lead Time Management

ISP installations take four to eight weeks. We start the process early and track progress to ensure the line is ready before your move date.

Router Configuration

We configure your router, firewall, DHCP, DNS and any VPN tunnels so your network is operational the moment the line goes live.

Getting Internet at Your New Office

The internet connection at your new office is the single most important element of your IT move. Without it, nothing works - no email, no cloud applications, no VoIP phones, no VPN. Yet it is also the element with the longest lead time. Most business ISPs need four to six weeks to install a new connection, and some leased lines can take eight to twelve weeks. Cloudswitched manages the entire ISP setup process as part of your office relocation. We check what services are available at your new address, compare providers on speed, reliability and cost, place the order with adequate lead time, track the installation progress and configure your network equipment once the line is active.

Why ISP Management Matters

Availability Varies

Not all ISPs serve all addresses. Fibre availability, leased line options and 4G/5G coverage vary significantly between postcodes. We check before you sign a lease.

Lead Times are Long

A standard business broadband installation takes four to six weeks. A leased line can take eight to twelve. Starting late is the number one cause of move-day internet failures.

Configuration is Technical

Routers need configuring with static IPs, firewall rules, port forwarding, VPN tunnels and VLAN settings. We handle all of this so it works from day one.

Internet Options for Your New Office

Understanding the connectivity choices available at your new premises.

01

FTTP Broadband

Fibre-to-the-premises broadband offering speeds up to one gigabit. The most common choice for small offices with moderate bandwidth needs.

02

Leased Line

A dedicated, uncontended connection with guaranteed symmetric speeds and an SLA. Ideal for businesses that depend on reliable connectivity.

03

4G/5G Backup

A mobile data failover connection that keeps you online if your primary line goes down. Essential for business continuity.

04

FTTC Broadband

Fibre-to-the-cabinet broadband where full fibre is not yet available. Speeds of up to eighty megabits download.

05

Bonded Lines

Two or more broadband lines bonded together for increased bandwidth and automatic failover if one line drops.

06

SD-WAN

Software-defined networking across multiple connections for intelligent traffic routing and enhanced reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

As early as possible - ideally eight weeks before your move date for standard broadband, and twelve weeks for leased lines. This is the longest lead-time item in most IT office moves.

Absolutely. We recommend checking ISP availability at any prospective office before committing. We can run a full availability check on any UK postcode.

We always plan for this contingency. A 4G/5G failover router is configured and ready to provide temporary connectivity while the main line is being installed.

Yes. We handle the relationship with the ISP from order to installation, chasing progress, resolving issues and ensuring the service is delivered on time.

Yes. We recommend maintaining the old connection until the new office is fully operational and all staff have moved. This typically means an overlap of two to four weeks.
