Switching from BT to SKY

We currently have phone and Broadband with BT, and TV with Sky. We have full HD, all entertainment packs, movies, sports, ESPN. Seems like we could save a bit of money by moving everything to sky - is this a complicated process?

Is it difficult switching from BT to SKY for line rental? Also, what happens in the interim period between swithcing - will we still be able to use phone and broadband whilethe switch is happening?

Thanks in advance.

    Get your MAC from BT (check that you are not still in a minimum term contract, or you will be charged an ETC). Give it to Sky when signing up, job done.
    The downtime on the switch day should be no more than a couple of hours at most.
    NB: You should only do this if you can get the Sky LLU service on your exchange-Sky Connect (non-LLU) is dire-it's just a resold BT Wholesale product. Check your LLU options with an exchange search on https://www.samknows.com.
