PANIC Strikes: I Moved and Totally Forgot my Cable and Internet Services!

"I have to say that I absolutely hate moving into a new home. There is just so much that needs to be taken care of that inevitably I just always forget something. So you must know by how I started this article that indeed I recently moved... I finally graduated from my small apartment into my first (almost equally small) home. When I got there, I had managed to get a couple of things right. My power was on and I had running water, but I went to plug in my TV and quickly realized that I forgot to call the cable company. So I thought I would just jump online and check out what is happening until I remembered that I used to use the WiFi at my old apartment and well, I also didn't setup ANY Internet service.

Fortunately, there was a Starbucks by the new house so I decided to go there grab a latte, watch some TV, and then of course order the utilities I forgot online. I tackled TV first as I was dreading having to come to Starbucks to watch my favorite shows and I quickly found that Comcast, DIRECTV, and DISH Network were all available at my house. So I compared the TV Providers using this tool. Next I needed to find the Internet service providers in my area which I came across a great site that told me Comcast, AT&T, and WildBlue were available at my house.

Well, before I had finished my first latte, I had ordered my Internet and TV serivce and already knew how long I was going to be a regular at Starbucks for (until they could complete the install). Next time, I'll go online BEFORE I move and at least remember my TV and Internet although no doubt I'll forget something else. I also thought I'd write this article in hopes of helping anyone else that is moving to remember ALL of their utilities.
