Door-to-Door Program

The Surf crew is in your neighborhood

When fiber is lit in your area, our local team goes door to door to help neighbors get connected and to answer your questions in person.

*Our representatives always carry a Surf-issued photo ID badge and wear branded hi-vis gear. Restrictions apply. Go to surfinternet.com/terms for details.

Who we are

Meet your neighborhood Surf team

The people knocking on your door are members of Surf Internet's Door-to-Door (D2D) team. They're trained, badged representatives who live and work in the Great Lakes Region, here to help your community get online now that Surf fiber has reached your home or business.

You'll recognize them by their branded hi-vis vests, Surf photo ID badge, and company device. They're never there to install anything at the door, they're there to introduce Surf and answer your questions.

Trained Surf representatives

Every team member completes Surf training and a background check before going door to door.

Always identifiable

Hi-vis Surf vest, a photo ID badge with name and barcode, and a Surf-branded tablet.

Part of your community

Your neighbors, working in the same communities where Surf is building fiber.

Why we're knocking

Your neighborhood was lit with fiber

When Surf finishes building fiber on a street, our team visits to let residents know service is available and answer your questions. Here's why a rep may be stopping by.

Service is now available

To let you know fiber-optic internet has reached your address.

Explain plans & pricing

To walk through plans, all-in pricing, and any current offers for your area.

Answer your questions

To talk through speeds, Whole-Home WiFi, and how fiber compares to cable.

Help you get started

If you'd like to sign up, to help you choose a plan and schedule installation.

How to know it's really Surf

Your safety matters to us. Before you talk plans with anyone at your door, take a moment to confirm they're a genuine Surf representative.

A real Surf rep always…
  • Wears a branded Surf hi-vis vest and carries a Surf-issued photo ID badge with their name and a barcode
  • Checks availability at your address on a Surf-branded device, never with paper and pencil
  • Knows your neighborhood was recently lit and can explain Surf plans and pricing clearly
  • Is happy to wait while you call Surf at 888-274-6381 to confirm their identity
  • Respects your decision and leaves politely if you're not interested
Red flags, this is not us
  • Requests your Social Security number, banking logins, or account passwords
  • Can't show a Surf photo ID badge, or refuses to let you verify it
  • Pressures you to sign immediately or claims a deal expires today only
  • Won't take no for an answer or refuses to leave when asked
Not sure? Confirm any rep at your door.
Call us and we'll verify whether someone is a Surf team member in your area.

Common questions

Questions neighbors ask

When will the team be in my neighborhood?
Our D2D team visits shortly after fiber is lit in your area, during daytime and early-evening hours. Visits are not scheduled in advance, but you can sign up online any time once service is available at your address.
Do I have to sign up at the door?
No. There's never any obligation. A rep can answer your questions and leave information, and you're free to sign up later online, by phone, or not at all.
How do I confirm a rep is really from Surf?
Ask to see their Surf photo ID badge, and look for the branded hi-vis vest and Surf tablet. If you'd like extra peace of mind, call us at 888-274-6381 and we'll confirm whether they're a Surf team member working in your area.
