Hi everyone - hope you might be able to a technically challenged internetless individual.

About to take ownership of a newly built residence. After insurance, one of the first things I need to organise is internet! Looking at a few possible service providers, they all request an NSN number. Any ideas what this is?

The new place has been wired for internet/tv/telephone, with the typical plug points. Should the builder be able to provide me the NSN number? Or, has someone else has told me, for a new building I will need to get an electrician in to connect something or other up first to get the NSN?

Any advice and help much appreciated.

Yes, the builder should be able to give you this.

The "Net Service Number" is like a phone number that is allocated to unused (in this case new) connections so they have a reference.
