Before choosing a new-build apartment in Yerevan, ask for three separate answers: which provider can connect the exact apartment, what installation work remains, and how you would connect in the rooms you use. Write down who confirmed each answer and when. Keep an unverified answer marked as pending.

Use the following checklist to prepare questions, not to certify a building's network or predict your future speed. It does not confirm any provider's availability, prices or activation dates.

1. Ask about the exact apartment

Give the provider the building address, entrance and apartment identifier. If the final address or unit numbering is not yet available, ask what identification they need to assess the proposed connection.

Ask:

  • Can you confirm service to this specific apartment now?
  • Is a connection already active, possible after installation, or only planned?
  • What must be completed before installation can be arranged?
  • Which installation charges, equipment costs and ongoing terms would apply to my request?

Ask the provider to confirm their answer in writing and record its date. If the developer says a provider will be available, record that as the developer's statement until the provider confirms it. Leave any proposed price or date unconfirmed while you wait.

2. Trace the proposed connection to your rooms

Ask the developer or installer to show the proposed cable entry point and the intended location of the provider's equipment and router. On a copy of the floor plan, mark your desk, television and other places where you expect to need a connection.

Google's guidance for its Wi-Fi systems identifies home size, construction, layout and where people use Wi-Fi as factors in equipment placement.[3] Use those factors to frame questions about this apartment; they do not establish the right equipment or location for it.

Ask whether the proposed location has a suitable power supply and whether a different location is possible. If wired network outlets are shown, ask where each cable ends and whether the outlets have been connected and tested. Have the installer explain any work needed; do not open equipment or alter wiring during a viewing.

3. Keep provider service and room coverage separate

Ask what evidence is available for both the incoming service and the connection at your intended desk or other important location.

Google notes that Wi-Fi speed can vary with the device, distance from the router and physical barriers such as walls.[2] Apple also identifies reinforced concrete and metal as potential obstacles to wireless performance.[1] These are general cautions, not a diagnosis of the apartment you are viewing.

If someone demonstrates a connection, ask which network and device are being used. A demonstration in a show apartment, on another network or through a phone's mobile data does not test the network you intend to use in your apartment. Record the conditions rather than carrying the result over to a different setup.

4. Request a test only when access is authorized

If the intended connection is active and you have permission, ask the provider or installer to demonstrate it at the locations that matter to you. Record the date, room, device, connection type and result. For a Wi-Fi test, also note where the router was placed.

If no test is possible, write "not tested" and ask what can be checked later. A spot test records those conditions at that time; do not turn it into a guarantee of future performance. Do not treat a successful test at one location as a result for every room.

5. Take away a connection record

Copy these fields for each apartment:

  • Apartment: address, entrance and unit identifier.
  • Provider response: provider, response date, written confirmation and active/installation needed/planned/unknown status.
  • Installation: remaining work, responsible contact and any unconfirmed timing or charges.
  • Inside the apartment: equipment location, power-supply question, intended use locations and wired-outlet questions.
  • Test evidence: permission, date, location, device, network, connection type and result, or "not tested".
  • Next step: one unresolved question, who will answer it and when you will follow up.

Before comparing two apartments, separate what is confirmed from what is still proposed in each record. Which missing answer would change your choice?
