Hooking Up Gets Easier


One of the headaches of moving into a new residence is calling various utility companies to hook up your services--usually you are put on hold for longer than you would like, and then you wait a few days for the service to kick in. Until now--the Internet has simplified this otherwise annoying process. Most utilities--cable, phone, gas, electricity, and Internet--will let you sign up for service or change your existing service online, saving you far more time than you would spend signing up for each service over the phone.


Even easier is a new service that lets you do all your utilities hookups online, WhiteFence.com. Not only can you sign up for all of the services at once, you can compare each provider for the best price. Just enter your zip code and let the information come to you, including special offers and discounts. And since they will have your move-in date already, the utilities can be hooked up before you arrive, so no more waiting around for the cable guy.
