Internet in rented flat?

Me and my partner are looking to rent a property and have found a flat we really like, however it does not currently have any internet connection or Sky TV.
We would really like both of these but are not sure how we would get these connected in a rental property. i.e. would we need permission for any installation? Are there any restirctions we should be aware of before we commit to this property?
Any advice much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.

Ask!
Shouldn't be a problem getting broadband, just comes down the phone line. Unless you want to run cables around the place for Virgin.
Can see that they might want to be consulted for siting of a satellite dish, though.
If its a big block of flats, there might be Sky hooked up throughout, and its just up to your own Sky box and card to decode the channels you are allowed to view.Act in haste, repent at leisure.

Hi
For sky you need landlords permission before they will install. its in their T and Cs. I had to get permission from My Landlord, In writing.0 -
Where I live I wanted Virgin ( not sky admittedly) installed.. just asked they said yes so I got it installed. (maybe depends on how you feel about your landlord)
Best to just ask.0 -
Also if you have a 12 month contract with Virgin and move to a non-cable area you might have a problem0
