Solutions for Moving Soon
First, congratulations! Moving is a major life event and should be a celebration. Too often it’s ridden with stress, but we can take at least one stress off your plate – selecting your internet and TV service.
Here are 5 reasons to avoid calling your existing cable/ satellite provider before moving – this will SAVE YOU MONEY.
1. Internet Service.
The problems. If you’ve got a cable bundle of internet + tv subscriptions, you’re likely overpaying for internet. Cable and satellite companies make most of their money on internet service and respective equipment. So, they don’t spend anytime helping you get the most out of your internet speed; in fact it’s quite the opposite – they will regularly encourage and incentivize you to upgrade your internet (ever heard the “for $5 more per month …”). Furthermore, when you move, there may be better, faster and cheaper internet options in your new area. We see this all the time. Some areas may offer internet via municipal fiber, telecom fiber or 5G wireless in addition to the traditional wireline coax.
The solution. Instead of going into your move blind, know your moving solution options. The team at StreamWise can provide you with a free consultation for the best internet & TV solution including only paying for the level of internet service you need, ensuring you have proper WIFI coverage where you need it, and recommending the service provider based on your TV viewing needs.

2. Whole-home WIFI.
The problem. Cable or satellite companies will tell you that you have to use their modem/router and that you have to pay for their equipment rental. With almost every StreamWise Solutions customer, we have found that the modem/router provided by the cable or satellite company is substandard and actually results in degradation of the service quality. Furthermore, the base modem/router isn’t enough to get acceptable WIFI signals to your entire house, garage and the rest of the areas that you want it. The only workaround for cable companies or do-it-yourselfers is to use unreliable WIFI extenders.
The solution. Instead of being forced into equipment you don’t want and likely overpaying for inferior equipment every month, own your own superior modem/mesh router. The team at StreamWise Solutions optimizes your entire network to fit exactly your streaming, browsing, gaming or interactive video/chat needs. And when you own your own equipment, you take it with you no matter where you move to.

3. Local Channels Are Free!
The problem. If you’re currently paying for local channels through a cable or satellite internet + TV bundle, you’re getting ripped off. Cable and satellite providers charge broadcasting, government and local sports fees in order to rebroadcast local channels (these fees alone can total over $40 a month). By regulation, cable, satellite and streaming service providers are required to pay fees to the government, but that doesn’t mean they have to pass that expense to you or more importantly make a profit on these fees.
The solution. In the Denver Metro area, more than 80 high-definition channels are available for FREE if you have a properly configured outdoor HD antenna. This is mandated by the FCC – read the Over-the-Air (OTA) reception device rules. Whether via HD Antenna or streaming service, the team at StreamWise Solutions takes time to evaluate your TV needs for local news, sports and shows, giving you the right TV recommendations for your moving solution.

4. Own your equipment instead of renting.
The problem. Renting internet & TV equipment is just bad financially. Cable & satellite companies typically charge $15/mo for modem/router, $15/mo for the first TV device and $5/mo for each additional TV device (aka a DVR or set top box). This adds up fast, especially if you have more than one TV.
The solution. At StreamWise Solutions, we’re all about empowering our customers. With StreamWise Solutions, you own your own best-in-class TV equipment. No more renting. The most practical modem/router, the most practical WIFI mesh network, and most practical TV equipment – completely customized to your needs.

5. Control
The problem. Ever had that realization that you only watch 10% of the channels you pay for with cable. Don’t feel bad, everyone we talk to feels the same way. Cable and satellite companies spend a lot of time negotiating rights to shows, sports and channels and they pass that cost on to you with a significant markup. And if you ask, they will likely try to sell you a package that still includes a bunch of channels you don’t want. Oh yeah and they also have 1-2 year contracts that they lock you into.
The solution. The team at StreamWise Solutions starts every engagement with a consultation, asking you about the channels that you watch and are most important to you. Utilizing industry tools, we can then recommend the most practical TV subscription services for you – one that fits your needs perfectly. Don’t get stuck in a bundle you don’t want; instead, get just the right TV subscription moving solution that fits your viewing needs and pay much, much less with NO contract ever!

Solutions When You’re Planning to Move
Congratulations. Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing or just relocating for your next move; maintaining a great TV experience in your home is an important part of getting settling. Before you move is a perfect time to be thinking about improving your TV solution – you might just save $1,500 per year on Internet and TV. See all of the services we offer here.
Here are six tips that can help you save big before, during, and after you settle in.
1. Cancel your internet and TV subscription.
The problem. No one wants you to pay for service your not using; we’ll even give the cable and satellite companies a little credit. But they don’t make suspending or cancelling service very easy. Furthermore, most cable and satellite companies give all of their incentives to new signups; they don’t seem to value customer loyalty at all. Why not take advantage of the new customer incentives as part of your next move?
The solution. At the point you no longer need internet and TV service, we recommend you cancel immediately and effective that date because your current internet and TV subscription provider will/ should prorate and rebate you for the unused services. New service activation is typically less than 24 hours. And at StreamWise Solutions, we help you understand who the best providers are in the area, before you sign your next high-speed internet contract. IMPORTANT, make sure to return your unused equipment (modem/router, DVR, set top boxes, remote controls, security devices and any smart home devices) – most cable & satellite companies will continue to charge you the monthly rental on that equipment until it is returned.

2. Internet Service.
The problems. While you’re moving in but before you reactivate Internet services, picking up with the prior cable or satellite provider may result in lesser quality of service for more money. Internet service rates vary by location, internet service quality varies by location and by provider, and internet service providers vary by location. Your current/ prior internet provider won’t tell you this. A different provider may be the best option for better, faster and cheaper internet options in your new area. Your new home areas may have options for internet via municipal fiber, telecom fiber or 5G wireless in addition to the traditional wireline coax.
The solution. Research your options. Or, have the team at StreamWise provide you with a free consultation for the best internet & TV solution in your new home. We ensure you know which provider offers the best service, that you are only paying for the level of internet service you need, ensure you have proper WIFI coverage where you need it, and recommending the internet service that fits your TV viewing and home automation needs.

3. Whole-home WIFI.
The problem. Cable or satellite companies will tell you that you have to rent their modem/router (this simply isn’t true in most cases). With almost every StreamWise Solutions customer, we find that the modem/router provided by the cable or satellite company is substandard and actually results in poorer quality of service. Furthermore, the base modem/router isn’t customizable to your internet consumption needs nor enough to get acceptable WIFI signals to your entire house, garage and the rest of the areas that you want it.
The solution. Instead of renting substandard equipment, own your own superior internet and WIFI equipment. As part of your moving solution, our team optimizes your entire network to fit exactly your streaming, browsing, gaming or interactive video/chat needs. With more than a decade of putting the latest equipment through rigorous testing, we know just how to get you exactly the internet & WIFI equipment you need.

4. Local channels are FREE.
The problem. If you’re currently paying for local channels through a cable or satellite internet + TV bundle, you’re getting ripped off. Cable and satellite providers charge broadcasting, government and local sports fees in order to rebroadcast local channels. My regulation, cable, satellite and streaming service providers are required to pay fees to the government, but that doesn’t mean they have to pass that expense to you or more importantly make a profit on these fees.
The solution. In the Denver Metro area, more than 60 high-definition channels are available for FREE if you have a properly configured outdoor HD antenna (channel coverages do vary by area). This is mandated by the FCC – read the Over-the-Air (OTA) reception device rules. Whether via HD Antenna or streaming service, the team at StreamWise Solutions takes time to evaluate your TV needs for local news, sports and shows so that we can make the right moving solution recommendations for your home setup.

5. Own your equipment instead of renting.
The problem. Equipment rentals from cable and satellite companies adds up quickly – $15/mo for modem/router, $15/mo for the first TV device (DVR or set top box) and $5/mo for each additional TV device.
The solution. At StreamWise Solutions, we’re all about empowering our customers. With StreamWise Solutions, you own your own best-in-class internet, WIFI and TV equipment. No more renting. The most practical modem/router, the most practical WIFI mesh network, and most practical TV equipment – completely customized to your needs.

6. Take control over TV.
The problem. You’re starting fresh with a new home, why not start fresh with TV too? Instead of only watching 10% of the channels you pay for with cable bundles, pay a lot less for the channels you do watch. Cable and satellite companies spend a lot of time negotiating rights to shows, sports and channels and they pass that cost on to you with a significant markup. You don’t have to be stuck with a channel bundle you don’t want.
The solution. We start every engagement with a fresh consultation about the channels that you watch and are most important to you. Utilizing industry tools, we can then recommend the most practical TV subscription as part of your personalized moving solution – one that fits your needs perfectly.
