Any Change of a Sky Deal
Options

Hi All,
Just moved house and Sky is still registered at the old address. We have just a basic sky box in my name only as I got Sky before I got with the GF. On the £22 mixes package with Sky. I'm well out of my minimum contract with Sky.
I've got BB with a different company and BT for the Line Rental so paying out:
BT LR - £16.45
Sky Subs - £22
Internet - £19.99
Total: £58.44
Taking a Sky Talk Unlimited Package (the GF talks a lot!), Sky BB Pro and a HD Subscription from Sky would still work out (just!) less than I'm paying now so seems a good idea. Even just getting Sky+ then saves me over a tenner a month on what I'm paying now.
Also, I can get ADSL2 with Sky which should pretty much double my 5Mbps sync that I get currently.
I looked on their site and the only "deal" they will do me there as an existing customer is to do free installation on the BB - but still charge me the full price for the HD / SKY+ box and the installation.
What do you think the chances would be of getting a deal out of them by calling them and asking?
Or would I be better just cancelling my contract at my old address and letting the GF take out a shiny new contract at this address in her name only (she's never had a Sky contract before)?
So many options and I hope someone here will have an idea as to what the best course of action will be?
Thanks All,
Adam
