Sky upgrade question

Hi guys,
My fiance and I are getting the keys to our first apartment next Monday, and so we are now in the process of getting utilities etc. sorted for when we move in.
We are pretty certain we are going to go with Sky for our internet/phone as it seems the best deal (£21 for unlimited usage, line rental and 20mbps a month). We have decided against TV for now as that bumps the price up to nearly £40 a month, and we dont want to commit ourselves to too much a month just yet.
We just wondered whether if we decided we wanted Sky TV a couple of months in, what are they chances they would be only too happy to waive installation fees etc as they do with some current packages? We perhaps wouldn't mind paying the money in a couple of months time, but if there is a hefty installation fee it might put us off.
Would Sky be thankful enough to be just doubling our bill, or will the most likely charge us a one-off fee as well?
Cheers!

There are always offers for free installation and as you would be a new customer, as far as their TV side of things is concerned then I don't doubt you could get the install for free.
"20mbps" - remember that is an "up to" speed, you may get a lot less than that.0 -

Yes, we realise that thanks, to be honest its the unlimited usage we're more bothered about! We spend considerable amounts of time for work on the internet, as well as watching/downloading tv shows etc, so its a must really...0 -
